Of course you can. There are lots of criteria you can judge mistakes by, but in the games industry, number of units sold is the most common and least subjective method. It is especially important since it usually determines if you get to continue making games in the future.

Hugh,
I understood the context... I just don't think you can quite compare "making more/less money" and "being a mistake" :)
I wasn't commenting on quality either 0:)

Pedro, you misunderstood. I was commenting on Marco's statement:
"but failed to realize it'll lower the number of units sold, as
there won't be much left that distinguishes a bought game from a warez
version."
Marco was saying that DVD cases would adversely affect the number of units sold. My point is that they're selling more units than ever. I wasn't commenting on quality.

Sorry, but that's not a valid point Let's replace some words in the sentence above:
McDonalds is doing better every year financially (including Europe). If burgers-made-of-stuff-that's-not-quite-beef are a mistake, there is no evidence yet.
Does that sound a valid point to you?
