The question is, why is V's fanbase filled with a bunch of f*cking immature children?

Even if i undertsand your love for MP3, I think you're giving too mutch credit to those "crying idiots" for MP3's failure (even if I think that 1.4 millions isn't a failure). Let's be honest, Max payne 3 wasn't a game for everyone: it's good, but sometimes "quality" is not equal to "sales". Don't think with the mind of a fan, but think like a "casual" (idiot) gamer:

the game is based on an old franchise (while RDR and LA noire were fresh, or at least a reboot with no link to the past, not a sequel), and this can stop some buyers. Plus, the game is not open-world, and unfortunately many casual gamers think that R* is good only with sandbox games (i know a lot of them). There's also the fact that not everyone can buy every good game on the list right now, and maybe they want to save money for the next big game. the relase date wasn't even that good (it was near the E3, and I know some people that wait until the end of the Expo to plan what to buy next... )

Red Dead Redemption was a sequel to Red Dead Revolver...

More like a spiritual successor.

The tough times continue for UK games retail, with the latest Chart-Track data showing the market fell 38 per cent last month. 1.8m games were sold in May, generating £45.5m. Both of those figures are almost 40 per cent down compared with the same period in 2011. For the third May in a row, Rockstar was the top performer with Max Payne 3. However, the game has failed to match the numbers achieved by LA Noire or Red Dead Redemption. Diablo III was the second best seller, which propelled Activision to No.1 in the publisher rankings by value.

I would also like to know! Why does it attract a younger audience than any other section of these forums?

People are excited for the best game ever. Internet anonymity turned this excitement into extreme level. Not a big deal.
