None of that matters (apparently). It's all about sales and it "sold well" = great game, despite the word of mouth, the bugs, the bad writing and dated mechanics. 

Some people seem to still have the mindset of something selling well "therefore it must be good regardless of anything said", despite there being more factors at play (Take junk food for example: turkey twizzlers that Jamie Oliver got banned years ago, those sold extremely well, yet they were bad meals objectively by health standards). 

But apart from that, I don't believe they need to end their gen early, since they already have a new model to replace the Series S planned on their map anyway. All they really need to do is sort out their games (you know, ones that aren't like Redfall/Starfield, and more like Hi-Fi Rush, that come with style and quality).

You can *objectively* say Starfield is a bad game? I don't think anyone can. The factor is more: is it fun for some people. And indeed it is. And the more objective factors you call upon with your comparison to turkey twizzlers are for example microtransactions and loot boxes. I would agree that would be bad - but they aren't present in Starfield. So your comparison really falls flat. It is about subjective factors, and as I already told: by subjective factors I didn't even like Starfield. But concluding on personal tastes it is a bad game, if clearly some people like it would be very bad of me, as I cannot dictate my personal tastes over that of others.

By personal tastes I dislike the Tomb Raider Reboot, God of War and GTA V. But I cannot in all seriousness conclude these are bad games, just not my cup of tea.

I just watched a video of a youtuber apologising for giving starfield a good review. He was saying he was blinded by hype and that the game is not just bad, but a slap in the face to all Bethesda fans. Would that happen to a game that isn't objectively bad? Have you ever seen that happen with any other game? People apologising for a positive review? With all the numerous loading screens how could you not say the game is objectively bad?
