Within 24 hours of its release, Grand Theft Auto V generated more than US$815 million in worldwide revenue, equating to approximately 11.21 million copies sold for Take-Two Interactive.



Atlus reported in December 2013 that it had shipped more than 700,000 copies of Persona 4 Golden

Release date: June 14, 2012.

Lol. SonyFAQs at it again!

And after those 24 hours, people knew what the game actually was and backed the fuck out.

GTA V is a damn shame.

Haven't played either, but GTAV wasn't as big as some of the previous titles and title like GTAV is more likely to attract the kind of dudebro gamers who aren't going to visit Gamefaqs.

Except GTA5 is fantastic and a very small percentage of the worldwide population thinks Persona is good by comparison. It loses in both sales and popularity.

Lol sports games sell well.

Not really. GTAV is still selling extremely well, and has tons of players. If you look into the numbers, it's kind of horrifying just how many people buy/get into the game for the first time in any given month, in spite of how long it's been out (and how mercenary the online aspect has become).

The real problem isn't that GTA sucks, it's that there's a strong nerd bias on GameFAQs, stemming from the RPG side of gaming. Basically, the games most likely to require someone to look up a FAQ in the first place are RPGs.

It's the same reason why Squeenix and RPGs in general are just about the only thing on this site that can compete with Nintendo in contests.

This is really my only complaint. Its ultra-nerd around here. Like there arent many non-nerdy gamers. Like I like FF games but Im not dressing up and arguing whether Quistis or Rinoa is better. Its Rinoa. No argument - It is what it is.

Whenever these posts come up I say Its not what you like, its what the statistics say. Well this is complete HS.

It's also very possible that most people didn't like GTA V enough to vote for it over P4G. Sales =/= quality, after all, especially with how subjective that is.

Or it could just be that the people who are stuck here are people who enjoy those games. Gamefaqs has been on the population decline for about a decade at this point.

It actually does regardless of your personal opinion in most cases. If it was a bad game then it wouldn't sell as it wouldn't be popular. I get not everyone likes everything but to suggest GTA V isn't a good game is factually wrong.

There is a middle ground, it's not just black and white. Terrible games typically don't sell well, but that doesn't mean a bad selling game is bad and vice versa.
Look back on top games throughout years and you might notice that. Movies can make this all quite clear, hence cult classics. Idk about you, but I really don't care for Titanic. It was good for its time, but those cardboard backgrounds are just so evident now.

What, because it sold better than anything else? That's not really how people's favourites work.

Eh, that's debatable. Being genuinely bad will hurt sales, yes, but a game doesn't have to actually be *good* to sell a lot. Just marketed well and enjoyable enough that people are willing to buy it and spend some time playing it. This is especially true for games that have a significant culture built up around them, such as CoD, where people buy the latest entries to play with their friends regardless of how good those entries are. And when it comes to launch day sales in particular, a bad game can absolutely see excellent launch sales if prior entries in the series have been good enough for people to trust that it will be worth buying, though those sales will drop off even more quickly than sales usually do as word of mouth gets around, and subsequent entries' sales will suffer.

Basically, selling a lot of copies means a game isn't bad enough to hurt its sales, yes, but selling more copies than another game doesn't mean it's better than that game.

But if you put Titanic against Donnie Darko Titanic should win. Unless of course the vote was being held on a site where Donnie Darko was popular.

I hope this makes more sense now.

TC should perhaps consider including some measure of quality in the logic which he uses to determine which thing is better, rather than relying on sales and popularity. Quality can be measured, after all, even with something as subjective as game preferences. I don't actually disagree that you could make a case for GTAV being better than P4G (having played neither, I have no particular opinions on the matter), but you're not making such a case because you're assessing nothing about the games' respective qualities.
