What do you get when you cross Wii Sports, Miyamoto, the Wiimote, an olympic games liscence, and the first ever cross liscence between Mario and Sonic?

I'll tell you what you get, a game that exceeds GTA and Halo 3 in sales... you heard it here first.

I don't think so. Olympic games have never sold well. It seems like some sort of experiment. Halo 3 and GTA IV are sure things with MEGA fanbases, I just don't see it.

Think of it like Wii sports, only it will garner more enthusiasm among gamers because it has an olympics liscence, and Mario and Sonic appear in it together for the first time ever.... not to mention that it will probably be a rock solid title due to the fact that Miyamoto is overseeing it.

Do Mario Games sell well? Do Sonic games sell well? Did Wii Sports sell well? Do Miyamoto games sell well?

There is absolutely no precedent for thinking an olympics liscence would limit this games sales... it will only add to the games marketability. The fact that so many games in the past have had olympics liscences (despite being crap button mashing affairs that dont work well on standard controllers) is testament to the fact that the liscence itself sells, but the games that backed it were usually brutal. As the Wiimote proved with Wii sports, mini-game sports collaborations on the Wii work exceedingly well.

I'm sure it will. Halo 3 and GTA however will be more than huge.

Mario and Sonic in a game together will sell, just because its Mario and Sonic in the same games
