      Gross sales is not predictive of hype surrounding a series, especially when that series hasn’t had a release in nearly 20 years.

      You… Are out of your element.

        Out of my element? I think we only know about as much as each other mate.

          You’re comparing the release of FIFA to the release of HL3.

          That’s adequate information to know you are out of your element.

            I don’t mean the release of FIFA, I mean the games that groups of people play and are aware of. If even non-big-gamers are hyped for a game, then oh boy.

                Yes, but I (unfortunately) think more people are hyped for the big fish.

                A discussion of hype is all conjecture anyway if we can’t measure its weight in a bottle so we’ll probably get nowhere fast with this,

                  You do not understand what a white whale is in this context.

                  I’m really not going to entertain this discussion further.

                  You’re, at best, sea lioning at this point.
