scoring and selling have little connection, just look at how much sports games sell, even with bad reviews, or like the carnival game for WIi.
well even so, with Halo it was all hype and no game. Now I'm not saying Halo wasn't awesome or anything but I know for example my cousin had Halo and sent it back to Gamestop. He was a die hard halo fan but after playing it he said there wasn't much more different from the other two games and that Call of Duty 4 was much superior. Smash is going to be much better than melee with much more modes and gameplay. Plus there is no Call of Duty 4 competition out because Brawl is so unique. So really Sakurai didn't create a Halo game but something much more supperb
dude, chill, I'm not actually a halo fan.
my point had nothing to do with halo, but with people's loyalties, he is not vs. anyone, he is a neutral force, this game was made by a neutral force, I mean heck it's got snake and sonic in it, fanboys from the N64 generation would turn in their grave to hear of these characters in a NINTENDO game.
so yeah, he is neutral, the game will sell great
and neither it or halo 3 are even in the top 10 best selling games of all time, so it really doesn't matter.
