Tbh I get a little pissed if an amazing game I love sells horribly, because of course that means I probably won't get to play a sequel and it really pisses me off when games that are way worse end up selling way more copies.  Just some recent examples, do I think Wonderful 101 and Tales of Xillia should have got more sales?  Of course, these games were really well made imo and I get mad when games like those sell terribly, but generic military FPS games sell millions of units.  Personally this happens with me for Japanese games the most, now I know they are not targetted at a large group of gamers, but I feel like if people actually gave them a chance instead of buying shooter after shooter then they would see that they were missing.  Anyway what about you guys, how do you feel about it?

I wouldn't say mad, more like disappointed.
Xillia should have some decent legs, should do better than Graces F imo

Random question but how old are you?

20, almost 21.



Indeed i do.

SEGA have been getting a damn raw deal all this gen.

Sonic Generations deserved better.

Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed deserved to sell a hell of a lot more than it did (it's the best Kart racing game this gen by a country mile) considering how many platforms it was on, and it was lower priced than most retail games.

Binary Domain DID NOT deserve to die like that.

Hell, last gen, even the greatest game of all time only sold 1.2 million (Shenmue)





I don't even get angry when the game I love doesn't love me back.



WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

I just don't like turn based games.  This is true for most gamers.

 

Wonderful 101 looks pretty cool though, but it's on the Wii U, and there's no way I'm paying $350 for an underpowered system.

Well Tales of Xillia is an action RPG, not a turn-based game.  



Well i joined this site because I wanted to see the software sold. I honestly dont care about the hardware side of things that much as long as they are successful enough to continue.

So yeah i do care but I dont get mad. Still i would like to see games like ICO, Kameo, Conker, and other games sell better than what they have. Excellent games that in my opinion deserves millions.  I remember I use to check every week for ModNation Racers numbers on this site hoping it would edge closer to 1m




       

No but my loved game never sold bad so... I don't know.



no, definitely not. I don't get mad at reality.

The games are not the problem, just like guns are not the problem. People are the problem, if people wouldn't like certain games they wouldn't be made :P.

I like it if games I like don't sell, because then it becomes cult and cults are cool :P.
