My personal opinion of the gems aside, whether people hate the gem system because it's genuinely bad or just because it's different is irrelevant. At the end of the day, people hate it, and thus it costed them sales. I mean, sure. Making such a drastic change to the system would have been severely time and resource consuming. But I think that in this case, the bad rep has done more damage for them in sales than pushing development time back could ever do. Not only that, but it will continue to hurt them. I know of people who are refusing to buy Dragon's Dogma and RE6 just because it has the big C logo on it.
