Forums - Sales Discussion - Why use sales figures as a metric for winning?

I'd like to round out this question with a good conversation about the pros and cons, alternatives and examples...

 

I do realize that we are on a sales website but I feel we could add some perspective. 

 

Do you have any input?

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Winning as in being the better game or having more comercial success ?

Better game/console.  I think I sould have worded the title THE metric for winning.

Because when you sell more of something, you win something.

We mostly argue about what it is that you win though.



 

Those guys are winning.

This and the fact that the credibility of many game review sources has been called into question to a greater extent than in the past.



its because they play sales instead of games.

they basicly just clutch onto any argument they can get hold of and sales is a good one.

so really there not gamers at all.
