I think you have the conception that I am mad that the 3rd parties and rob made it in the game and the mii didnt. its the opposite- i love the new roster and every character on it. mii would be a stupid element in smash but it still will be a very important character. maby not to our generation but i know my little couisins always come over and make miis and that is thier favorite part of the wii. oh, and master chief has sold so many copies its insane. he is at least 10 times more popular than snake (i hate halo).
Once again, "Who sold how many of _____" is irrelevant. Snake is a character with a personality, sense of humor, what have you.
Another thing, is that the Halo games are bought because of gameplay, and you never hear anyone say "Omg, what hillarious lines will the master chief say this time??"
However, some do hope for things like that from Snake, and Snake is truly the soul of his games. Master Chief...is not.
And you cant compare how well a single game sold to an entire long-running series. MGS over the years has surely sold more copies than Halo games.
(MGS includes MGS1, MGS2, MGS3, MGS Portable, Twin Snakes, as well as the soon to be MGS4, which should sell well also. You could also include the original Metal Gear games in this. )
Halo, is now, really, a dead series. Unless by some miracle it's devs decide to make another, so the money wont be rolling in for that anymore.
MGS4 is also to be the last of the series, according to Kojima, and it will eventually, be dead as well. However, which had the more lasting affect on gamers over the years? Im quite sure it was MGS, and Im not really a MGS fan either. I actually prefer Halo.
But anyway, Why are we comparing Snake to Master Chief? Snake is much more badass anyway. Besides, Master Chief has had nothing to do with Nintendo whatsoever that actually went through (The forgotten Halo DS that never was) so Master Chief has no place in this arguement.
