Well not really what they said but it is what they meant.
"Analysts predict that only top-tier titles and those that are highly rated by critics will thrive as consumers pare down spending in the fourth quarter, when the game industry typically pulls in 40% of its annual revenue.
This will be particularly true of shooter games. The genre is highly sensitive to quality rankings doled out by reviewers, generally on a scale of 0 to 100.
"It is pretty detrimental to sales for a shooter game to achieve a score below 80%," said Jesse Divnich, director of analytical services at Electronic Entertainment Design and Research in San Diego. "Simply put, if you want to make a first-person shooter, aim to achieve quality scores above 80%. If not, don’t even bother."
it makes sense that in more saturated genres such as FPS's the review score is going to be more significant than niche genres . I'm not sure this applies to the Wii as heavily as it does to the 360/PS3 , Wii owners generaly don't seem to care a great deal about review score.
