985 Results: If Valve would release Steam sales numbers, it would end the "PC gaming is dying" debate. Agree: 1 Disagree: 23
My view: I am a gamer, and a business major. This makes this AoD complicated. Speaking as a gamer, I'd love to see that, but I'd probably not release a sequel of a poor selling game if I were in that business. I'd also be pissed off as a stockholder of a company that would (if the game is high budget, at least). Yet, the gamer in me says "screw good business decisions, make sequels to games I like and take a gamble on it selling well." IIRC, the first GTA games didn't have amazing sales numbers, so you never know! Agree
Rules: 1. Nominations must be open to debate. Use words like best, worst, or a variant thereof sparingly. 2. You are allowed to just agree or disagree without discussing the topic, but discussion of said topic is not only welcomed, it's allowed. 3. No alts, no flaming, no rallying, and no trolling. 4. You can nominate up to three different nominations every day. You cannot use them on one twice/three times in one day, and you can only nominate something once. 4a. You can also denominate a potential topic at any of the nomination levels. Denominations use up two regular nominations however, and afterword you can only nominate one item. Also, if you are denoming an item at five, please give a reason as to why. And no, "it is bad" won't work. If the item is denommed at 5, it must be renommed within 3 AoD topics or it will lose its scheduled date. 5. In long posts (IE: over a paragraph) Please bold/do something to your vote so I can pick it out.
Remember: that I can (and will) remove anything I deem worthless, useless, pointless, stupid, or too silly.

This question is too circumstantial. Of course gamers will Agree, because they don't care about the business end, they just want to play more games. But companies, unless the poor selling game was so cheap that they actually profited, will say Disagree, because they don't want to go bankrupt.
I vote Inconclusive.

If you are reading this signature, then you are wasting a great deal of your time.
-From a quality perspective, there are plenty of fantastic cult games that could use sequels. -From a business perspective, there are plenty of low-selling titles that simply haven't tapped into their full demographic potential. More advertising, slight changes in gameplay/aesthetics, etc. can change this
Either way, agree & close.

If you like Blitzball, try Captain Tsubasa II (in English) for NES! Top games: http://unikgamer.com/users/vlado-309.html
Agree, close. If you don't like at least one low selling game, then you probably only buy the stuff that Gamestop specifically asks you if you want to reserve. Since I doubt that's too many people on this board, this is going to have a really high volume of agrees.
Agree, close. Kind of a silly topic. Even from a business end there are obviously some games that deserve a shot due to later cult status, possible better marketing, or a shift in market tastes that makes success more likely.
