A bet with Smash Bros sales

[Skye8600]

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 :|

eh?

anyways, i think this kinda sparked from my phone call with him yesterday..<< >>

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.

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.

Its too bad Halo 3 was such a big dissopointment... :(

it was just another one of our brawl talks. Then i told him about brawls sales in Japan, and he asked if that beat Halo 3's , and i said no, and then he thought that maybe it would be bigger in japan....so on and so forth

What do you expect?


All 1st person shooter games are the same.
There are many different versions of 1st person shooters, but basics are basics...it's the same thing.


Bleh.


As some here have said, I think SSBB will out sell Halo in the future with a long ongoing increase in sales as
time goes by...

Its reasonably fun.
I would really like to get Halo... but i don't want an Xbox for one game and Brawl gets all my free time after March 8.

I think Cornwad was the only one supportive here.  I did the bet for fun.  It was only five bucks so it's nothing if I lose.  This topic's just fun.  That's why it shouldn't be locked.

Well I would love to see you win that bet. Imagine smashbros beating halo first week.

well thats gonna be hard to know right now
nintendo needs to start advertising or only hard core gamers will know about its release
the biggest factor is that many more people own wiis around the world than 360s
nintendo has a huge advantage over that
nintendo fans typically have been waiting for a real big game since after launch
the only real advantage that the 360 had is how well it advertises.  hell they even had halo drinks :|
if ssbb doesnt surpass halo3 sales on the first day then i am 100% positive that it will in the first week
