Since Metacritic futures are more expensive than many futures contracts (80-90 DKP compared with 10-30 DKP for many November contracts), there's less risk/reward with them.
If you have, say 1 million DKP to invest you can put it for 11764 shares of Metacritic A at 85...or 33333 shares of Future B. Chances are, unless the game is a complete flop, the metacritic score will not vary by more than a few points, so you're limited to low multiple of 11764. However, sales are much harder to predict so there is a lot more variability in the price, and since you have 3 times as many shares, there's more potential profit/loss.
If you're assuming an equal investment in either a future or metacritic future, then sales futures have a much higher potential for profit/loss. Therefore, they're going to get a lot more attention. Besides, with offering Metacritic futures for every game I think we're over-saturating the market again (like what happened with stocks). Many are bound to be overlooked.
