I don't get the correlation between what a game sells and what it "deserves" to sell. What exactly makes a game deserving to sell? If it didn't deserve to sell, then it wouldn't.

 

 

Kung Fu Panda.

You're such a smartass. Fine, besides bundled games...(repeating my stance)

 

 

LOL, that was funny!

Mario games with mario as the main character
Games with Wii in the title
Hyped playstation games
Guitar hero/rock band anything
Gran Turismo
Gears of Bore 2
Tales of anything

 

I'll be hiding in my flame proof bunker now :)

 

Tales games?  They dont generally sell all that well.  Tales of Symphonia sold over a million, but others in the series have not.  Vesperia is sitting at 290,000 worldwide and Tos2 at 370,000 worldwide both games deserved more in my opinion.

Why doesn't the Imagine series deserve it's sales? Did they hold people up at gun point to get them to purchase them or something? It's a pretty long standing series at this point. If it were that undesirable to it's market demographic(key words there, Killzone 2/Halo 3/Conduit players are not their prime demographic) then they wouldn't be selling any longer. You can throw a Metacritic in my face all you want, but I guarantee if that series was getting 8's and 9's across the board you folks still wouldn't be buying them, so why bother discussing it? The people that do enjoy those games continue to enjoy them.
