No you dont nedd it to be good at math >_> it just meens i find it easyer compared to most where as i find eblgish alot harder. Statisticly Sony major games have been better recived by reveiws and gamers than nintendos. Een gt5, though a disapointment compared to hypes till has a higher meta than wii kart. No meta isnt everythign but its a very good indicater.

Oh, I see, then. That's interesting.

Anyway, statistically, Nintendo's games have sold a lot more than Sony's. And I sincerely hope that you don't need an example, :P. No, sales aren't everything, but they're a very good indicator.

sales arnt a good indicter ateall. marketing is all sales are. bayoneta was probably one of the single best games released last year. barley sold 1 milion on ps3 and xbox combined.

In my opinion, they are.

In your opinion, they're not.

You need to be more objective in an argument.

Marketing doesn't have that huge an effect at all. If the game's good enough to attract the right people, it can sell millions with pretty much no marketing. Look at Just Dance last year, for example.

Sales are definitely more important than Metascore. Sales aren't all about advertising - they are about word of mouth, and the response to the game from the consumers (the people that matter most). Reviewers can't be trusted, but the public can - the best selling games, the ones that just keep on selling, are almost always the best ones.

if marketing had no effect microsoft wouldnt have spent $500 million on it for kinect XD. some of the all time greats sell a 10th of games that arnt that good. wii music sold almost 3 million. did it diserve it? no. was it advertisd liek hell? yes.

Of course it has an effect. A phenomenonal effect at that, but that's not all there is to it. Advertising can push a game to a reasonable amount, but the game won't really excel unless it really appeals to people (eg. Wii Music vs. Wii Fit).

wii music wouldnt have sold more than 1 million without advertisment
