You can pretty much tell that the writer is obviously biased.

Well if they are informed and Sales = quality then Carnival Games Wii > your PC games list. Yes or No?

Sure. I'm not some flip flopper compared to the others in this forum who drops away an actual point in order to further their own dumb agendas.

The fact that the same people who held up the PS3 and 360 as having the best games, and derided the Wii for appealing to the masses but not having good games, are now defending the PS4 and Xbox One as being the systems that appeal to the masses despite the game quality, while deriding the Wii U for not selling games well enough, even if the games are higher quality. EDIT: Notice that I make no disparaging remark about the PS4 or XBO. Or the PS3, or the 360. I wouldn't, because I'm a real gamer - I consider gaming to be what matters. PS4 and XBO will get their top-rated games, in time. And Wii U will get more top-rated games, too. The console war absurdity needs to stop - we are all gamers, and whether you prefer the PS3, 360, Wii, PS4, XBO, WiiU, 3DS, PSV, PC, or any other system, you should be celebrating the broad range of options we have, and not outright attacking other systems and celebrating poor results. If you call yourself a gamer, and engage in console wars, then you're lying to yourself, and to everyone else. |
Where the thread should have ended.

Good. It's nice to see someone stick to there belief. However, I whole heartedly disagree with you on this one. There are so many factors that contribute to game sales. Activision or EA could put out a mediocre game, throw in some guns and explosions and back it with tens of millions of dollars in ads and it will sell somewhat well as long as it sits around a 7 (metacritic). A smaller developer could self publish the same sort of game with better gameplay mechanics, deeper storyline, better graphics, meta rating of 9.5 etc and sell 1/3rd of what the mediocre game does due to less awareness, smaller marketing budget and not being established like the other two publishers. We as a game community tend to have more variables in factoring in a purchase for a specific game than your average Joe.
Anyways, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.

Do you seriously believe in metascores ? COD ghosts has a lower metascore than BF4 yet I see many people keep saying that the campaign is better, casual or hardcore and the likes.
Many people would seriously disagree with you using metascores to measure the quality of the game on this forum. Sure sales is based on what people like subjectively but the objective part is we should all have equal voting rights when buying a game. Just because I buy games different from casuals does not mean that my votes have a bigger effect because they clearly don't.
To further my point as to why sales determine quality is that most people on this forum and other gaming forums agree that japanese game quality has dropped significantly too and did you know else dropped ? Their game sales come crashing to the grounds never seen before levels and all that has to do is with the quality of these games dropping. Once japanese game developers start to realize what quality means their game sales will skyrocket to never seen before levels and we'll have to stop ignoring their relevancy. This is one reason I keep saying that quality is linked to sales.
Game sales determines relevancy of a franchise just as console sales determine the relevancy of consoles. Guess what ? The WII U is deemed as trash by the PS360 base and the mass market also agrees with them too. The WII U has demonstrated that it's software is irrelevant and thus it shows that the WII Us software lacks quality to be bought by anyone other than nintendo fans.
To each and his own I guess.

That's actually bad considering the amount of bundles microsoft went through to get that thing in peoples homes. Look at kinect sales now.

it was bundled but the console was a 100$ more so what's your point, you sound like a flop flopper here, 30 million is bad in what world.

I'm pretty sure microsoft went to doing alot of giveaways. Last time I checked didn't I say that it was fad ? If you look at the sales now I'm pretty sure it's doing horrible now. In any case 30 million is pretty much trash for an extension of a platform compared to the WII.
