A bet with Smash Bros sales

[tollhouse2006]

OKay, today I made a bet with a friend that Brawl will sell more copies on it's first day in the U.S than Halo 3 did on it's first day in the U.S. 

The two of us wagered 5 dollars.   
Halo has about 2.8 million copies sold on the first day in the U.S.
Brawl has to get over that amount of copies sold on the first day in the U.S.  We are not counting Japan's sales because Halo isn't popular in Japan so my friend thinks that's unfair.

I doubt that Brawl will sell more then Halo 3. Halo 3 is much more well known, and it was advertised much more. Halo 3 probably sold more on pre-orders then Brawl will in the whole first week. >_>

Smash Bros has been around since 1998.  It's older than Halo and since it's T it's more suitable to different age groups.  Melee was gamecube's best seller so Brawl's gonna do really good but the lack of Wiis in the US might be the main problem.

Its probably already sold a million in pre orders :P

Dumb bet. Halo 3 had the most pre-orders of any game ever.  How much money does he get?

REALLY BAD BET.

It's like the worst bet you could make.

It will sell alot but nowhere as much as Halo. It was one of the most anticipated games ever, was advertised everywhere. Age group has nothing to do with it since you hear a bunch of kids on Halo anyway.

Pretty stupid for making that bet.

We should make bets on Tollhouse losing this bet.

over 9000 dollars on him losing.

Losing on the first day bet. If you had bet OVERALL sales over time, then you might win.
Halo actually has competition on it's system, but Smash has none on it's system.
I think overall it might sell over time, but no way on the first day. NOTHING oculd beat that launch

It's not going to happen.  Halo 3 had huge marketing and PR behind it simply because Microsoft could afford to waste that much money promoting the game.

Lord..the Japanese were hyped for Brawl, and they didn't even sell half of that on the first day.....I am tempted to lock this for idiocity....but why not have fun?

Your kindness shows no bounds!

but thinking about it, it may not sell as much on the first day, but in the long run it might win

Halo 3 had so much hype/ad power it isn't funny. It was a stupid bet, and I stand by my statement. If he wins the bet, I will publically apologize, but I am laughing hard now! :D

Besides, take a joke as a joke :|
