Message: [QUOTE="TamagotchiTamaHero24, post: 201740, member: 215120"] I do have to ask in that case why the most popular titles in terms of raw numbers are all titles which have what you just listed. Somebody above explained the dangers of hype, which absolutely plays a role. My point remains: the games that stick with you longest are sometimes the ones that barely sold. The games that slide off your brain the most are sometimes the ones that have the largest followings. Sales numbers don’t mean ANYTHING other than “did a game have hype behind it?” Hype can be good or bad. It can go for or against you, and it is a concept so it does not care. Hype can, will, and does drive game sales to be as big as they can be. Whether or not it’s warranted is occasionally unrelated. [/QUOTE]
