[color=ed1c24]"Fifteen million dollars in sales does not mean fifteen million people saw the movie."[/color]

If you can't admit that going into the fucking weeds, just to be argumentative and nit picky, your full of yourself...You cannot bitch at me, for 'overreacting' of all people when your nitpicking is even WORSE and less worthwhile than mine.

It is still millions that would of never cared, buying a ticket to go see a movie.

[b][color=ed1c24]Are you going to sit here and tell me that Rockstar made their game just to be controversial? Because that's ridiculous.[/color][/b]

You're telling they weren't hoping people would bitch about how overly violent it was to get people interested in purchasing it wasn't part of their plan? They know how marketing works...and they aren't the only ones...

*cough cough* Also DOA 3 couldn't be legally purchased in US, (Not sure if that changed) which is why 'it isn't doing well'. Give me a fucking break. That's more disingenuous words...

[color=ed1c24][b]CONTROVERSY. DOES NOT. SELL. MILLIONS OF COPIES. OF VIDEO GAMES. [/b][/color]

It can be a leading factor to it's success. So I will argue it can, not the ONLY reason, but IT IS one of them...it's not always just one reason why people buy things, I'm arguing it's a factor at play. (and a powerful one at that.)

[color=ed1c24][b]Relapse was not controversial but it still sold. [/b][/color]

(The problem with EVERYTHING your saying is it doesn't matter IN THE SLIGHTEST. AANNNDDD IS STILL WRONG!)

Yet his most controversial albums probably sold the most overall...

You saying that is just needed to exist to sell, is a falsehood. Maybe not intentional but, that is a fallacy assuming the sequel means more money. I showed other examples of popular franchising making less, even though it was a sequel. And if even 1% of sales had to do with the controversy. That's over half a million people...Which is no small number...Granted that's just an assumption. But at this point I don't think I can get anywhere by actually trying...>.>

So, I think I'm going to just going to ignore this and drop it...but I know for a fact, I won't be the next one to bring this kind of B.S into the discussion...but I'll be the criminal for pointing it out...>.> Which I think its a little hypocritical, but whatever.
