Who the Hell mentioned Stephen King in here?

That's ironic, because Stephen King said the idea that popularity is indicative of any kind of higher literary merit is self-important hogwash and does not reflect reality at all. It's just justification for popular writers to feel better about themselves.

I'm the culprit.

Seems like Avinash is more royalist than King himself ;)

@ those claiming reviewers decide quality, here is the answer

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - 97.61
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess(GC) - 95.29
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - 94.68
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess(Wii) - 94.45
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past(SNES) - 93.50
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask - 92.82
The Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition - 92.77
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages - 91.89
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past(GBA) - 91.77
Shadow of the Colossus - 91.68
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons - 91.50
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX - 90.85
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap - 90.43
Ico - 90.13

That is a lot of Zelda before you get to Shadow of the Colossus and Ico.

By the way, I don't really agree that reviews or a compilation of review scores are the best indicators of quality.

Absolutely I agree that most people will denote Zelda as better than Team Ico.  That isn't why I'm making this argument, I just dislike the argument that sales are directly related to quality and serve as an easy measure of such.  I am not arguing to try and find a way that Team Ico is better.  I have already weighed in on that matter, Zelda is better in general public opinion, Team Ico is better in my personal opinion.

Your argument that reviewers are a better indicator of quality is just as bad.  Especially since gaming criticism is generally piss-poor.

Reviews aren't perfect, but I find them being much closer to reality when it comes to game quality than looking at a game's sales.

The person who brought him up, werekitten, is in support of that argument. He already responded.

I'm still trying to comprehend how someone could genuinely argue that the very best of Alfred Hitchcock is worse than the very worst of Michael Bay. It's not just about how many people have gone to see a certain movie, it's how much they revere it.

^milk them? There have been only 3 games in the series

I think it's a well known fact yet not been documented.

You should look up "fact" in the dictionary.
