They tell the truth.

based on opinion of course. Since those exclusives did not sell the most then obviously the rest of the world does not share the same view of the games as these reviewers.

 

No, that's a sign that it is not being marketed well. Would u say that a PC is better than a Mac? Doesn't matter if it is or not, Macs are selling like crazy because they are being marketed right and are now the "cool kids" computer (just like about any Apple product). Alot like how the Xbox 360 is now.



ha well then its sony's fault their commercials are so dumb. first they had those weird ones that just freaked people out and wondering wtf is that.

ever since then all you see is some linkin park or music you see on overly used anime music videos and a college of a bunch of games in weird ass transformer ps3, or along skyskrappers.

Its hard to even tell what teh ehck is going on, too many games too fast and not clear. Wii commercials while corny and simplistic work. you know how it plays, what your playing and that its a game.

360 well its usually a cgi trailer of some sort and then 360 logo with price stated. Reminds me o fwhat the ps2 was like back in the day, without stating price though



Using sales as a measure of quality would only be used by someone who r stupid.

 You don't know?  Quality is measured by a bunch of gaming journalist.  They tell you what a good game is.  Whether you actually like the game is irrelevant.

I know ur not talking about this. This is the PS3's BEST commercial so far, showed all gameplay of the games,  showed everything else it can do, and it flowed pretty great from each of the things (the song is pretty catchy too).



That it did,that it did.



 

 

Hopefully they learn a few things about marketing and properly back their quality titles with the ad campaigns that they deserve.

The best judge of quality is the individual . It would be absurd to argue that high selling games are the best quality one's , they only sell well because of their apeal ; of course quality can be part of the reason for a games apeal but that varies . Gaming journalists are only individuals giving their opinion , they might be more experienced or more convicing in their views but essentialy all they are doing is expressing their view.

But of course bias posters want to argue that X console has better games than Y and it would be pretty innefective to use their own opinion as a basis they use sales to assert that a game has quality , they use reviews to assert a game has quality when truthfuly the only real judge in the individual.


But for the sake of discussion we have to have some measurment , it would be messed up if person A said "this flash game I made in 5 mins is 10X better than MGS4 could ever be". Yes individual opinion is king but we like to compare , evaluate so we need as close to an objective measure of a quality games as we can get , that's why we use sales statistics and journalists opinions.

We shouldn't really use anything as law , at the end of the day we're right if we say it's not good and we're right if we say it isn't good ; gaming is like art.
