I own a PS3 and the sales of MGS4 couldn't matter less to me. That's why I'm wondering. The games great, even if it only sold 250k life time. So why do people follow sales like it makes the game better?

Did you really read what kuraobi and Montana said? If we say a game I love gets released, but sells poorly, then I won't see that kind of game anymore. The sales are what form the market into what it is. If I have to choose between three consoles, and I choose one that does poorly in sales, it most likely won't get many games that the other two get. Might be games I'd really enjoy. So I'll be missing out on them because the console doesn't sell well. Sales are extremely important for consumers, to get as much as possible out of the money they spend.
