Ok, as a recognised arbiter of truth on this website, I would like to weigh in.

I would personally hold aggregate review scores above sales in terms of games quality. However, that is not to say that sales are irrelevant. But whilst some titles will have their quality (based on sales) artificially increased by aggressive marketing campaigns or flashy graphics (Assassin's Creed), others will sell tremendously based on their wonderful quality (with or without marketing) such as Gears of War 2 or Bioshock.

Of course, game sales may effect the chances of console manufacturers gaining future exclusivity from third parties (for example, underachieving sales from Killzone 2 and Haze make it unlikely Sony will be securing any large third party shooters for the PS3), but that doesn't really have an intrinsic effect on quality.

Nah I don't think it does, but it's all personal preference.

You had a lot of speculations like Dead Space 2, Forza 4, and Halo Reach Spin off. None of those are announced, although very likely. I could counter it with Killzone 2, Resistance 3 and Gran Turismo 6, none of which are announced but highly likely.

Kekeke! (who laughs like this in real life? Rhetorical question.)

2010 and future already? Man, you've got all of the rest of 2009 to worry about. Because by the end of this year we're all going to be poor from buying too many great games.

Seriously though, LeapFrog destroys them all in 2010.

a game can be good without having billions of sales, there are a number of cases like that.
but, the more a game sells, obviously the more people that like it.

a games quality generally translates to sales.


OT- i say 360 wins 2010, Halo: Reach being a huge factor

2010 - 360 has the best games line-up.
The future 2011 and beyond - too early to tell.

In your opinion.  IMO the list you presented doesn't hold a candle to the 360's list 

its obvious the hd consoles have the third party support, can we kill this argument please.

at this point for me, 360 is crap since if I want the full experience, I'd go PC, Wii, and PS3 since, I have no desire to play Alan Wake, think HD console shooters are shit, and 360% think Fable has been garbage since II came out. oh and I just sold my 360, now I can get my new DSi since my DS doesn't want to charge anymore and won't work even if I plug it into the wall.

yes. halo reach best game ever

explain what you mean by full experience.

plus you only mention one game and why would you sell an xbox 360 for a ds?
