With the competition present in the market people tend to buy the already established and very well known franchise, over the lesser known more niche greats.

But great games still do sell well. If you combine digital sales for ds3 the combine pc, ps4 and xb1 version should have sold well over 3 million, which is amazing for a game that alienates a big part of it's potential audience due to not having an easier difficulty mode.

Dark Souls 3 has sold 6 million units.

You cant be serious right? Soccer is soccer. You cant just add some random tweaks to it and call it a soccer game. Fifa or any soccer game is not just abt the soccer itself. It's abt playing your favorite team, or your favorite players or your dream team. And this needs to be updated yearly.

Yes I know that's why they sell well to football fans. I don't understand why people buy games with updated roster every year when they can continue playing the same game and play some other games as well but if they like it that's good for them.

People I know who play FIFA games don't play many games. They play FIFA, COD and some other games. Some of them used to play a huge variety of games but these games provide them with all the enjoyment they want from gaming now. So to them these are better games and they have played many games before so its notr like they haven't tried them. Some of them even used to be huge fans of other game series.

You knw what. You should socialize a bit more, but.. not in a virtual world

That's quite an interpretation of my post. None of the people I was talking about are virtual friends. I don't have any friends who I became friends with on social media and online games.

That's because the masses are shit.

Look.. ppl have different taste, different definition of fun. Some ppl are also loyal to some brands. Or they had good/bad experience/memory regarding certain titles, etc etc. Point is there are a lot of other factors (beside ratings) that influence one's decision to buy a game. And you cant say they're wrong because they dont pick (what you think as) a better product (but you can call them what a fckin sad creature they are,... but not in public)

I didn't say they are wrong for liking a game but I don't understand the point of buying the same game with same gameplay every year like FIFA as all the roster updates don't chnage the gameplay. I know its because they like to have the updated teams but that doesn't change the game.

I can understand with Call of Duty that there is a new campaign, new multiplayer every year but the FIFA games have the same pitch and gameplay and that if someone likes the game because of the gameplay he can play the same game for years without buying a new FIFA game.

Do sales numbers and game ratings correlate well?
