Kamiya wonders why western gamers focus on game sales and reviews
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 6 Comments
Writing on Twitter, Platinum Games’ Hideki Kamiya posted a series of messages tackling the topics of sales and reviews.
Kamiya seems to believe that, when it comes to western gamers, they focus too much on these two elements. Both are used as ways to evaluate a title.
In Kamiya’s opinion, players should determine a game’s quality by experiencing it “rather than borrowing some numbers”.
“For foreign gamers, games that sell and don’t sell tend to be a hot topic… I wonder why they care so much about sales that it makes them choose what to play. It may be because (sales) numbers are the most obvious way to evaluate a game, and reviews seem to be another… I think that rather than borrowing some numbers to judge the quality of a game, you should decide by yourself.”
