In other words, you think that every person goes to a game store clueless about what they like and what they are going to buy?

I never said that they were totally clueless. I said that people usually play the game at a friend's house, or read a review in a magazine instead of going to a store looking for a certain developer. Do you think that games like F-Zero and Metroid are going to sell horribly because they went to developers that aren't "well known?" People mostly care about the franchise, not the developer. Sure there are those that care somewhat about who the developer is, but the majority of people who buy games don't.

All the games that sold better were better games. Goldeneye was 10x better than TND. Madden 2002 had many features that NFL2K2 didn't; same with NBA Live and NBA2K2. Tony Hawk is a great game and is well known, while ESPN Skateboarding is horrible; same goes with 1080 and ESPN Snowboarding. Why did these sell better? Not because the Developer's name was printed on it, but because they were better games. People know whether a game is good or not from reviews or by playing it at a friend's house.
