Metacritic Scores and Sales

The Influence of Metacritic on Game Sales on Bitmob takes a look at a limited sample of sales figures and attempts to correlate the impact of Metacritic scores on sales. The results are mixed, but the general conclusion drawn from the data they worked with suggests that well-received games do not necessarily sell well, but that games with poor reviews almost never do. We hear more publishers emphasizing the correlation between reviews and sales lately, and it would be interesting to see analysis of this using a larger data set.
