What are you talking about? Nintendo games are just as much as Xbox games $60! if anything Brawl will be MORE money than your average Wii game because of it's mass popularity. (instead of 60 will most likely be 70) Metroid prime 3 was $70 because it was a popular game and a popular genre! And **** did it to one hell of job! Brawl may not outsell halo 3 first day, but brawl will outsell Halo 3 within a few months hands down!
I don't know what country you live in, but I've never seen Metroid Prime 3 for $70. That'd be marketing suicide.
No, Halo 3 was $60, BTW I actually do live in a different country, Canada, but that doesn't really play a factor since our dollar is at par with yours. It's a known fact that More popular Nintendo games are at a much higher price by about $10. Either way, Brawl is still much more popular than Halo 3 both locally (north america) and most definately internationally, Brawl will outsell halo 3 hands down
Brawl is $49.99 USD.
Yea that just proves my point more, everyone that really wanted it ALREADY GOT IT, now its going to have less and less sales every week.
So you're saying once a game is out for a few weeks, it doesn't sell anymore because everyone who wants it has it?
How do you know that? Where's your evidence? Fact is Brawl is still far more popular than halo3 internationally, that crap that you people spew about there not being enough hype is utter bull****, millions of people hit the dojo everyday to see the updates. (I don't know a single person that doesn't) brawl can outsell halo 3 and it will probably happen. No one said on it's release date, but it will happen within a few months, it'll be something like the Wii sales at the beginning of it's release, and most people still can't get their hands on a Wii and ESPECIALLY now at this time since it's the christmas season...
seriously, Edreams you annoy me more than chi but chi obviously like halo 3 a LOT better than smash.
So once a game sells X amount in a few weeks, it doesn't sell anymore because everyone that wants it, has it already?
No, it's not. You're offering very little proof yourself, but we already have proven extensively that hardcore games on the Wii aren't selling and it should be pretty obvious that Nintendo is only hyping the game to people who already know about it and will buy it regardless.
Because I do support Brawl, idiot. I've been following it since announcement, I've played Melee for years, I'm looking forward to maining Dedede, I check the Dojo daily, I lurk on plenty of Smash Bros forums... But I can look past this silly little thing called "bias" and figure out that Brawl is nowhere near Halo in hype or popularity.
I obviously like Halo more than Smash? I've stated numerous times in this thread that I love Smash and Zelda, but don't like Halo. I don't own it, have never played 1 second of Halo 3. I played a combined hour of 1 and 2, and didn't like Halo much at all based on what i played. Check my gamercard: Shotty 2Ya D0ME (it was an older clan name for GoW, so yes I know it's dumb lol) and you will see that I've never played Halo at all.
then how come you've been saying stuff like " ITEMS in brawl suck" and "halo 3s online pwns brawls" and "halo has so much more customization".
LOL. Please show me where I said those things.
Well, I don't like items, the Wii's online in general is terrible, and Halo is more customizable.
Unless you mean how I've stated that items affect a competitive standepoint in Melee, how I've said that XBL is better than Wii's online, and how Brawl's online should have a custom search for matches, then that proves nothing in saying that I could possibly like Halo 3 over Brawl.
You don't like items. Understandable. Halo's online being better. True. But Halo 3 has more customization? How so?
That is what I mean.
I don't even think Halo 3 is in the top 40 best selling games of all time, yet. It is only half way to the top 20 as it is.
your not the only one, trust me most gamers that already havn't been introduced to smash might be disappointedly, but a good majority of gamers worldwide are smash fans, it's what Sakurai relys on, and trust me they were probably so much more exited at that Wi Fi update, then any other halo fans when they announceed Forge, and other cool Halo 3 modes. I myself am one of them, playing smash online is a dream for me, I don't care if they lack a few abilities, in fact I expected less, it won't matter if the online can live up to Halos, because its so totally different then Halos, and brawl will sell well for the sole reason that it has a fan group big enough to take out Chuck Norris (and thats saying something)Just so you know, I have no problem with the online.
A lot of people are upset about the online play, and gamers who play online games probably won't feel the same kind of satisfaction having no ranking boards or no means to burn the other player verbally. For some people, communication is the sole purpose for playing an online game.
But just having net play on Brawl is more than enough for me. It opens the biggest door, that's for sure.
Yea, exactly. Please don't try to lie and say that I said "________" when you have no proof to back it up. You only lowered your credibility by saying that.
I don't see how game sales don't matter to the entertainment industry. Obviously if you can put resources into developing a great game franchise like Halo or Smash, you can bank upwards of 170 million in the first day of availability. Obviously thats the record, and can't be applied across the entire video game board. But it can happen, and is all the more reason to make sure Brawl is the best showing for the Wii.
You're hilarious, I will put your jokes on the back of the next frosted flakes.
i think Gates should suck it. but SSBB will outsell Halo!
