Sorry for quoting the whole message but I couldn't agree more with what was said here. High production value games will sell higher but will also have less overall sales then for example an angry bird type game (meaning simple but polished looking graphics, easy but fun game play, accessability and (most importantly) easy to get into and understand. The way I see it is that as long as the game is fun, looks polished, easy to get into and provides a challenging level without being frustrating it will have a good base to start off with. After that it all comes down to marketing and the initial launch.
