Funny thing said by Tim Schafer

Tim Shcafer, genius behind such games as Full Throttle and
Grim Fandango said something great in this interview at  http://www.gametab.com/news/130760/

GS: What does it take to sell a crafted, adventure game in today's all-Doom, all the time environment?

TS: Well, I'm not in sales, but I did learn one thing from Full Throttle. PUT A BIG EXPLOSION ON THE BOX. Psychonauts is going to have two explosions on the cover, so it will probably sell twice as much as Throttle.

Basically hes right the flashier and more appealing the box is the more likely the casual gamer is going to pick it up.
I know alot of people who rent only sports games and games were you "blow shit up in".

I've declared many times how much I hate people for doing exactly what we're talking about. It's a sad but true fact. A large portion, if not the majority, of video games sell based entirely on the packaging.
