I'm thinking GTAIV.

It's not gonna sell as well as the past entries but it'll still beat SSBB I think.

It's a toss up, every single Wii owner in existance is waiting for SSBB

But most 360 owners and PS3 owners are waiting for GTA 4

And userbase of 360+PS3 is a bit larger than Wii

But for those 12 year old kids wanting GTA, most parents now know what GTA is, and many will probably block the purchase.

Definitely GTA

Why? It is multiplatform. And you can pretty much guarantee that a lot of PS3 and 360 owners will buy GTA.

Tough question. They're both guarenteed to sell millions but I think GTA 4 has an edge because it's multi-platform.

I say it will be a tie, but SSBB is already out in Japan, sold a million. GTA IV is coming out at the end of April so as of right now SSBB is winning.

Maybe this assumption is the epitome of foolishness, but 500,000 in one country in one day is a hell of a lot. My money's on Brawl.

I'll go with SSBB. Why pretty much every Wii owner is waiting for this game. GTA IV will sell pretty damn good because it's multiplatform, but alot of the M rated games are bought by kids, and alot of parents know about the GTA games so it will be a bigg no for kids, but still alot of people are going to buy it.

For sales... that's a tough choice....

For quality, I know that I would much rather play SSBB than GTA4, mainly because GTA4 isn't my kind of game. I'm sure GTA4 will be reviewed better though.

I'm not interested in either but GTA IV will outsell SSBB (both will be huge ofcourse). And as far as the numbers for Japan, while impressive, it is Japan and it is Nintendo so not exactly shocking. SSBB will outsell GTA IV in Japan probably but I believe we're talking overall.

GTA will sell more since it's multi-plat. I've only played SSB a few times, but it wasn't my thing. I like GTA a little more, but I'm going to try the new SSBB, so we'll see.

Dunno really, GTA sold 10million last gen but it was multiplatform, SSBM sold 7million and was only on the GC. I think, SSBB will sell more but seriously it's a tough choice.

perfect on famitsu, 7th game ever to do that, what better reviews do u want?Masterfubu
The Japanese have *very* different tastes than the Americans and Europeans.

I'm not saying I don't trust Famitsu, they're held in high esteem for me, but one review does not necessarily reflect all other reviews.

That's one review. Remember, it's only hyped AA here because SSB has never scored AAA at GS before. And GTA, well... In their podcast, IGN sounds pretty pissed about the SSE and I wouldn't be extremely shocked if it scored an 8.9 there.

IGN really disappointed me in their podcast. Saying stuff like "Olimir isn't the kind of character you use to win a game, he's more of a novelty". Because they have only clocked in maybe 30 minutes with him and you suck with him (big S said he would be very hard to master) doesn't mean the character sucks.

I have never been interested in GTA but that game is a casual magnet and like-wise to the hardcore. I reckon GTA4 will no doubt sell more but SSBB will be one of the biggest sellers for the Wii this year.

I will definitely enjoy SSBB more than I will ever be able to enjoy GTAIV, but GTAIV will definitely sell more, considering it's a multi-plat.

San Andreas, GTA VC and GTA3 all sold over 10 millions.... I think GTA4 will sell more but thoses games were on PS2 which has a huge userbase... if Wii keeps selling strong and get around PS2 sales, likely Brawl. If not than GTA4.

I'm thinkin' GTAIV, because it's a multiplat and will probably get more publicity, whether it be good or bad.

SSBB probably won't get reviews as high as GTA IV, but it will sell better than GTA IV.

SSB has a much larger fanbase around the world and I would argue that if 90% of every Wii owner on the planet bought SSB (which will probably happen) it would outsell GTA worldwide. Its a toss up for the US alone though.

umm... GTA games have sold way more than the SSB games. and SSBM had about a 1/3 attach rate not a 90% attach rate.

Brawl is more hyped from what I have seen... I think it will be more than 1/3.

That's possible, even probable, but a 90% attach rate is just ridiculous, not even Halo can do that.
