Haha yeah this is what I mean regarding your last sentence in particular, the people who really love cricket are going to buy the game, but I guess on the other hand there is probably a bunch of literal kids who will nag mum or dad for the game.
I suppose I forget how different it must be for today's youngsters where there's so much option and choice, whereas when I was younger I'd spend all summer looking at 3 screenshots from ps2 magazine or something and just imagining how it'd be to play
Yeah, worth considering we're talking about a game on a forum where (in this thread) it's the only thing discussed.
This board and the people on it aren't representative of the population as a whole. We're all converts, we're going to buy and most just want a trailer to see more of something they already want.
A trailer aimed at non-forum folk people would need to be vastly different (fun, accessible, understandable) to you or I (realistic, deep, nuanced). Neither is likely to be all that happy with the other, either.
So in essence, it's not just about a trailer, but the "right" trailer as well.
I'd guess forum folk probably only make up a small amount of total sales, but like, 90% of the hype and conversation. Tough balance.
