Your the one mad here LOL. You have yet to point out anything that is wrong with my point and on the other hand your the one that should move on because you have nothing to refute my argument.
Why can I not claim that WII sports is better than SMG ? WII sports is THE SYSTEM SELLER whereas SMG did shit to boost the WII so WII sports is clearly of higher quality among the masses than SMG because they thought that it was worth $250 to drop on compared to SMG.

I never said Wii Sports was not a system seller. Using your logic Wii Sports is better than every single other console game. That's why you are wrong. Sales does not mean quality. Period
|
Again why can't I claim that WII sports is likely better than every other console games ? What is the issue with that ? Isn't the reason you buy a console is for the games ? WII sports clearly proved itself there. Why would people drop $250 to play WII sports ? WII sports is clearly a quality title because it became a system seller.

Just because you buy a game, it doesn't mean that you consider it a quality game. People buy games because they are fun, because their friends bought them, because they look cool (graphics, trailer) etc. I bought Pokemon Y and I think it's a good game, but not as good as Gravity Rush. I also bought wii sports and I don't think it's a good game. It was fun at first, but then it got old.
Again, just because you bought a game, it doesn't mean you think that game is good. Quality has nothing to do with it. No one cared about Picasso and suddendly his works are the most expensive works ever. Did they magically become better after his death? NO. Lack of interest in them or in a game, has no correlation with its quality. There's a reason Shadow of the Colossus is considered one of the best games ever made and wii play simply terrible. Tons of people bought it, but most don't think it's any good.

You could not be more wrong.
Also, trying to draw parellels between video games and picasso.. lol.
How do you measure quality.. I mean think about it. In video games, how can you REALLY measure game quality? Biased game reviews? Your word? Mine? The only TURE and measurable way to judge game quality is sales. If a game sells great, there's probably a good reason it sold great. If a game sold like shit, it's probably shit. End of story.
Sure there may be some easilly manipulated saps that run out and buy games becuase of graphics, or because it "looked cool" but at the end of the day, if it's bad enough, they'll probably sell it back, or spread word to their friends that the game sucks, and thus the game's sales will suffer in the long run.

You measure quality by reviews
Game sales are measured by appeal
Sales DO NOT = Quality
|
So basically you're judging review scores (ie some random dude's opinion) as gospel when it comes to quality?
Ok, I have nothing more to say to you..
|
Yes, all the way up until i play the game for myself to see if its true about what people are saying about it.
It's better than the broken logic of sales = quality that users like yourself and the slob guy in here struggle to use
Nobody has been able to prove how sales could determine a games quality and it can never be proven
Your failed logic has failed you and his arguments.
Sales DO NOT = Quality, sorry ;)
Edit: Anybody on this forum who actually knows how to use logic within their debates and reasoning can happily try to prove how sales = quality. You will Fail EPICALLY just like the other few users in here who tried to back the broken logic.
So please, Minority users who dare to use this broken logic, feel free to bring forth your reasoning of how sales could = quality because these other few users are starting to bore me..
If there is nobody else who uses this broken logic, then that shows that these are the VERY few people who do and that's a good thing
That's less people to educate on this matter.. But then again.. Some dont want to be educated on what's logically right and wrong but oh well..

So now you're saying YOU are the God of video game quality? Gotcha..
I'm not talking about what the standard of quality is in your fantasy world, I'm talking about the practicality of REAL LIFE, from a UNIVERSAL standpoint. And in REAL LIFE, there is only one true way to measure quality, and it's the only way that quality COULD be measured..
Now you COULD make the argument that quality is entirely subjective, and thus cannot be proven or disproven one way or the other. Hell I might even be inclined to agree with you with this argument to some extent, especially when it comes to things like music, TV, and movies.. However, if you claim that quality is NOT entirely subjective, you MUST look for a universally consistant, tangible, measurable way to show TRUE quality.. And this HAS to be how the game has performed in terms of popularity and financial success. It means the game is good enough that it has managed to appealed to the most people and its value has convinced them to spend their hard earned money on it. How in the hell else can you measure quality? Think of it like voting. Majority rules.
I'm not even saying that I PERSONALLY think that every game that sells well is a great game. God knows there are plenty of games that have gone on to sell millions that I dislike, even hate, and games I love that have performed poorly. I'm just saying that this is the only consistant, MEASUREABLE way to gage quality, from a practical standpoint. If a game sells well, it did something right. If it does not sell well, it did something wrong. Period.
