What the fuck? GT5 prologue, GT PSP, GT5 sold 15-20 mil between them. They've done great this gen, and their platform is 1/2 the size of last gen.

Shhh, Don't talk about sales, you will start a war. Be careful.

So they got the sales down nicely, but the reviews leave something to be desired in them all :P

i'm sure it had to do with the technical/Dev. problems of PS3.


Then Yoshida shouldve fired a ton of people at Polyphony. HA HA HA HA HA.

Insonmiac had no problem getting games released on PS3. They did 3 Resistance games and 3 R&C games. ND is on their 3rd PS3 game.

different techniques in dev. i think it was Insomniac that made their own tools to work on PS3 with. not every studio is ND.

If Poyphony was unable of handling GT5 development, their shouldve been a huge shake up at their offices. Turn 10 had no problem releasing numerous Forza titles on 360. 

PS3 360 are 2 different consoles. 360 more like a PC. PS3 is still the hardest console to dev. for, and you skould know this by now.

 

The fact is. GT5's release was one of the biggest mockerys in this generation.... something needs to be changed to make sure it doesnt happen again. 

can't prevent problems during dev. these things happe. Red Dead Redimption had a long dev cycle as did GTA5. do those studios need a shake up?

Metacritic takes an average of them all so it weeds out the troll reviews to a degree, while also putting a heavier emphasis on major review sites/publications. I thought this was common sense but ok.

Saying the review system is broken is a sore losers excuse. Deal with it. Also the fact that all 3 games above didn't score the way their predessors did, id say its not the reviewers fault. The internet is pro Sony....are you new to the gaming internet?

Just to respond to what I've bolded in order:


You mean the ones who get payed for high scores or receive contracts which disallow them from featuring many things in their reviews such as bugs.

 

The same could be said that using reviews can be a sore loser excuse for losing in sales?

 

What? You mean Vgchartz is.

The sales of the game says that the people who bought it are satisfied with it.

Reviewer bias works both ways and effects all consoles. But that said, the whole reviewing body can't be bribed at once...not when theres 70+ reviews. Ridiculous comment.

This isnt about sales. This is about reviews....you clever guy trying to sidestep lol
