Resorting to bundled games now?
What? Are they against the rules? :| Apparently they really arent games if they are bundled. So that rules out Super Mario brothers games that were packaged in past nintendo systems as well. But, of course, that is utterly ridiculous./Sorry. If you give something away for free, then it can't be considered sold. Get it?
But is it really free? when you buy a Wii you buy the system, the parts and the game thats bundled.And yet no one who purchased the Wii in NA or Europe had a choice. If for example, the Wii was also sold for $200 without Wii sports, then we would have a more accurate evaluation of its sales. But since this isn't the case, using a forced bundled game as an example of strong game sales on the Wii is pretty desperate.
Ugh all these quotes is ridiculous. In game quality, the person who said Halo is a noob fps is partly right, there are waaaay more complex ones out there, Halo is really simple so it drew in a crowd. It'a a teriffic game, well-made, but in overall quality Samus eats HalO's for breakfast. Sales though, MP3 won't catch it. SSBB will I think.OfficialJab
SSBB? no way, man. did it match halo 1 or 2 in sales?
But with what you said, I actually don't think they should bundle games, cause what if I don't want PGR or Kameo? I'd rather they lower the price and let me buy my own games.88Ghost89I was questioning such a thought when Nintendo announced the Wii price. Thing is someone mentioned something. They said it was possible that Nintendo had to price it at such because retailers said that shelf space could mess things up. considering if they said such a thing it looked like Nintendo were going to undercut the competiton by a fair margin and that could very well hurt retailers. In this scenario it sayd they were forced to bring the retail price of the Wii up. Not saying if it's true or not. Personally, it's a great incentive to have a game ready to play right from buying a console.

I'm sure retailers would be mad if the Wii was cheaper and sold even more. :roll:

No. Does that matter? Are you saying they're going to sell the same because they are the same franchises?[QUOTE="mwa"][QUOTE="OfficialJab"]Ugh all these quotes are ridiculous.

It doesn't really matter, but Super Smash Bros. Melee sold more than Halo and a I think 2 mil less than Halo 2.[QUOTE="Blackbond"][QUOTE="StephenKing_1"]Metroid Prime was overrated IMO, and it seems the general public agrees.

StephenKing_1
The general public who has never played it and thinks its overrated. Oh my. Here I was seeing all of these amazing reviews, GOTY awards, #3 at Gamerankings and here I was thinking it was a good game. But now you've shown me its overrated because people who haven't played it called it so :roll:
If i'm wrong, and Metroid Prime was such an amazing game, then why did less than half of the people who bought the first one purchase Echoes? Halo 2 outsold Halo:CE. San Andreas outsold Vice City.
Apparently the greatness of Prime faded fast.
Wait so sales determine if a game is good now? Since when. We weren't talking about sales we were talking about the quality of the game. This is the exact point I'm talking about. Not many people have played it due to sales so how can it be overrated in your sense?Â
[QUOTE="Dr_Corndog"]What, exactly, is the point of this thread?To reiterate Halo's greatness.
PikaPichu
Greatness? WHAT GREATNESS? Halo is the posterboy for garbage and being more overrated than the xbox360 is. and thats going right to the top. there are so many great shooters then that. here's the number : ALL OF THEM.
Smash bros brawl will out sell halo mario galaxy will out sell halo, nuff said.
SSBM sold a crapload so I'm gonna guess that SSBB can sell a lot too. And with online, who knows how much it'll sell? Mario Galaxy also looks like it has a good chance.
But honeslty, I'm kinda getting sick and tired of all the people here who act like Halo 3 is God's gift to gamers. It's a great game, definitely deserving of its AAA status, but it's not going to sell 100 million copies like some of you people think it will.
Is it somehow ownage when one game on a console outsells all the games on another console? The 360 HAS been out a year longer more than the Wii, making it's use-base much larger. Not to mention that the Wii's best selling franchises aren't coming out till the end of the year, giving more time for Halo 3 to sell.

Your thread fails.Â
[QUOTE="Nintendo_Ownes7"][QUOTE="Gears360"]there's only one : super mario galaxy ssbb requires wii owners to invest money in extra hardware to play itHyper-ChickenNo it doesn't most of the people that will buy SSBB already had a Gamecube so they don't have to spend money on anything extra because they will just use there GCN controllers. You will probally be able to play it with the wiimote and nunchuck, theres enough buttons.
Finally someone says it. Only an idiot would actually think Nintendo wouldn't use the Wiimote+Nunchuck as the controlers. Â

I don't see why everyone thinks Halo is that great a seller. It sells great at first, but it's not got the long term sales... Â
re-tart356
lol at those 2 wii games
those two garbage games wont out sell halo 3
your name really suits you:|It doesn't matter how much it sells, Halo will always be casual trash that only n00b FPS gamers enjoy because they don't have the pocket money to play real FPS games on a PC. It's like Nintendogs, shallow trash that only non-gamers like lemmings enjoy due to its lack of complexity.
Metroid Prime 3 will destroy it gameplay wise, just like Prime 1 and 2 did to Halo 1 and 2.Â

Do you even know how many people have already pre-ordered Halo 3?
how many wii owners won't get SMG?Well the first Halo sold over 6 million and the 2nd Halo sold close to 9 million. Halo 3 will surpass both and probably go over the 10 million sold mark. Halo 3, combined with system selling titles such as Mass Effect and GTA IV will push 360 sales into the multi millions this holiday. Halo 3 will also push XBL sales too.
I don't expect any game to beat Halo 3 in sales this year, except for GTAIV.the-very-best
 I agree with that. The last 3 legit GTA games (GTA 3, VC and SA) each sold over 10 million copies I believe. I think Halo 3 will be the first Halo game to do that as well, but I think GTA IV will probably out sell it in the end.

Actually, it's true. Most of Halo's market is directed at casual people. I know because I get out more often.

Remember, a lot of these games will be out before Halo 3. Halo 3 only gets Christmas sales where a game like Twilight Princess gets the whole year of sales.
