I agree, although I also believe it will take longer for it to reach the success that Halo 3 had.

Will it be better than Halo 3? Hell yes.

Will it be more popular? The consumer shall determine that. I still believe the Halo juggernaut is hard to match unless you are Mario, Pokemon, Guitar Hero, Grand Theft Auto, Madden, or Final Fantasy.

Then again I did just list a bunch of titles...time will tell.

Not on day 1 or week 1, but after 18 months, it's going to be well ahead of Halo 3. At this point, the actual sell-through numbers for Halo 3 are anyone's guess, but it's not likely that the game will break 10 million any time soon. In fact, I wouldn't be all that surprised if it never breaks 10 million (although Ithink it will eventually).

Both crap. One is a cheap attempt at Mario milkage while the other makes it impossible for online team work. That was easy.

And again, no game will ever top Halo 3's marketing campaign, EVER! Nintendo didnt even advertise MP3, what makes you think they will with SSBB?

Halo 3 will be better in my opinion. My basis is that Halo 2 was better than Melee in my opinion (and both are two of my top five games of all time, but Halo just a bit more), and that Halo 3 was like ten times better than Halo 2. Brawl will not open as well (Halo shattered records, I mean come on) but I believe by the end of the Wii's life it will have easily surpassed Halo 3. I mean Super Smash Bros. Melee was in the top 10 of the gamecube for years. It still might be for all I know.

BTW my favorite games of all time 1. Starcraft: BW2. Halo series 3. SSB: M 4. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 5. Another I am forgetting XD. So yeah, either way I'm super hyped for Brawl.

Commercially? LOL!

Microsoft had a 10 million dollar advertising campaign, Nintendo can't top that.

As for sales.........no way!

Halo 3 simply sold too much. Every week it still sells around 80k while SMBB sells 0 every week until its released. Point is, it can't and wo't surpass Halo 3 in sales.

so it needs to sell a million and a half more than Halo 3 in like 2% of the time to have the same popularity?

I don't really know about it being more popular than Halo 3, but I could really care less. The online itself will outclass Halo 3. I've been salivating at the mouth for an online Smash (playing the N64 original online with an emulator doesn't count).

You honestly want to play the reviews card? REALLY? By your logic, why did Halo 3 fail to obtain the GOTY award on Xbox 360 or the Overall GOTY award? Especially when the 360's GOTY was a mulit-platform title and a lower score of 9.0.

Melee sold ridiculously well for the GC.

Super Smash Bros. is basically Nintendo's Halo, commercially.

Well, they spent a hell of a lot of money advertising Halo 3. I haven't seen any SSBB ads yet.

I think SSBB will be more popular in the long run, because it's going to have incredible replay value.

Why are so many people seemingly convinced that Halo is a selling god?

Halo 3's 1st week numbers were incredible. Better than anything we've seen.

As of now, though, we don't have a clue whether or not H3 has sold 7 million or 5 million. Shipped-to-retailers for a game of this magnitude doesn't mean the same thing as others. There are TONS of copies of that game out there right now, and we don't know the exact number.

Melee sold 7 million on a dead console. Halo 2 sold 8 million. Why is it out of Brawl's reach?

Halo 3 wasn't the best-selling game of this year. It won't be the best-selling game of next year. It won't ever be the best-selling game. Halo is not the be-all-end-all of sales.

The Wii has two titles that are well on their way to 10 million already. Wii Fit is putting up massive numbers in Japan already (if they can produce enough, I think it might be the best-selling title of the year), SMG's legs are proving to be strong (much stronger than Halo 3's legs, btw), and it could be well on its way to breaking 10 million as well.

Halo 3 might never make it to that mark. Honestly, I give Brawl a 60% shot at outselling Halo 3.

I'll probably like it better. But I doubt it'll be as big. Maybe close(EDITED from not even close, since Melee did almost reach Halo 2).

If Nintendo takes the time and money to really hype it up, I'm sure that can be even more popular than Halo 3.

Sales wise yes it probably will do better because there are more Wiis out there now than 360s and SSB is Nintendo's ultimate game. A lot of people are buying Wii just for this game.

Score wise 8.5-9.5 is my prediction, nothing lower.

I'm sure we'll see some "Wii would like to play commercials" for Brawl.

well considering the incredably high attch rate of the 360, coupled with the sales success and currernt momentum of halo 3, i would say no,

considering that halo 3 belongs to a genre that has always sold better then SSBBs, the Online for halo 3 is more critically acclaimed and the attch rate of games to the Wiis numbers is a total joke.

however considering SSBs 7 million sales on the gamecube, consideration for its success is not outragous, however halo 3 has already managed to topple that in 3 months as of now it has alot more going against it then for it

No, SSBB isn't and won't be (in the future) more popular than Halo. Halo 2 is pegged at 8.45 and Halo 3 is already close to 7 million. By comparison SSB on the GC sold 6.58 units.

SSBM is an estblished franchise...? On a years old console...

What are you smoking... The only previous SSB game didn't sell nearly as well as SSBM, and the GC was new when SSBM was released...

It sold nearly 7 million on the GC... Which only sold like 21 million units... ...

SSBB is going to sell like crazy.

Better? Yes, definitely. The original Smash Bros was better than Halo, and Melee was better than Halo 2, what's going to stop Brawl? Sales wise, maybe, leaning on no. Smash Bros games are like Mario games, they don't sell 8 million in two weeks, but by the end of the console's lifespan, you'll realize it just sold over8 million copies.

Still, I suppose it's nice to hope. You Halo fanboys are rather defensive about it arent you though?

I got SSBM as a pack in with my Gamecube but I'm not sure how many other people did. If they start packing it in with the Wii it will probably beat HALO3. Otherwise I am not sure...maybe...maybe not.
