Whoa man...when SSBB comes out the Wii is gonna take over software sales

Think of how Wii just beat the 360 in december software npd, biggest month of the year,

now think of how rapidly large the Wii's userbase is getting,

now think of the millions of core gamers SSBB is gonna bring over to the Wii,

the kind of people who buy a lot of games.

GTA4 is a much bigger game than SSBB. I would guess that over half of all Wii owners have never even heard of super smash bros.jbz7890

Seeing how GTA:SA sold 50% more than Super smash bros and melee COMBINED, its safe to say that GTA4 will sell about 2x as many copies as SSBB. Super smash bros is really overhyped here.jbz7890

shhh let nintendo lovers enjoy their only fighter...

Smash Bros has never been a top selling franchise (and by top selling i mean 10 million+). Every GTA game since GTA3 has sold over 14 million. Please get some numbers before you make your claims.

yes. i agree on that. But that can change with a little advertisements.

Happened with the DS already... huge core game (NSMB) plus huge non game (Nintendogs) won the war for the DS

1 GTA divided by 2 consoles = _____!

I dont agree, I mean, one week on the Hotspot they were talking about how SSBM sold alot of copies randomly, probably people playing it on their Wii, SSB series is very popular and known amongst the casuals I talk to,

But yeah, GTA IV will sell more.

when I say it will sell well I mean that many, many wii owners will be buying this game. Wii owners are very aware of Brawl

Fair enough, so why not just ignore them...

Just like a fish your taking the bait when you lash out like that.

what makes you think people will buy the wii for SSBB if they havent already for mario galaxy and/or wii sports?

I dont think SSBB will sell many consoles at all actually.

So you would rather play Wiifit than GTA 4?

You'll probably ignore this question, but I seriously want to know, because all of your spamming about sales in multiple threads has me baffled.....

Would you seriously rather have the console that sells the most, or have the console with a vastly higher number of quality titles? As a person who, I assume, has purchased a game console, do you really care more about the success of a multi-million dollar corporation than what you get for your gaming dollar? I suspect I already know the answer, but I'd love for you to admit it so you can be blatantly foolish instead of hiding behind your sales numbers and dodging questions that come up in discussions that YOU start.

all the while GTA was on a platform with over 100 million users, while smash bros was on a platform with only 20 million users

do the math

now i'm filing your quote for future embarrassment

The Wii already has quality software, but it's in ridiculously small numbers. Are you telling me that the Wii's second year will equal that of the 360 in terms of volume of great games? I'd love to see it, but don't delude yourself. Crap 3rd party support = a repeat of the N64 and GCN. A handful of truly amazing games, surrounded by a sea of crap. Sales or no sales.

Let's look at this logically. As a rational businessman, where would you want to release new content? On a console with a small user-base or one with a large user-base? Which will maximize your profits?

Now, that said. The Wii is a new kind of hardware. It is attempting to break through with a new type of input, and thus far, developers are a bit leery of investing money in it. That will change. As long as the console continues to sell well, a few developers will grow enough balls to release good content. When it sells, more developers will jump on the bandwagon and release original content, just like the PS2 and just like the DS. Okami is a good example in that Capcom is actually releasing good games for the Wii. Granted Okami is a port, but if the user-base proves that the content can sell, they will release new content.

What should i care if critics love my games? Shouldn't it be more important if i love them?

Are you trying to tell me you don't actually believe that there are people who prefer their wii collection to their 360 collection?

To be honest, i care about both a games/systems critical/fan response as well as sales.. but that is mainly because i'm interestd in the industry as a whole. Plus, sales do play a role in the future support of the console.. which is a very legitimate reason to care about sales. None the less, the poor sales of zack and wiki, and the fact that it's widely considered AA, doesn't stop me from loving the crap out of it and showing it to whom ever i know.

sheep get to play more AAA exclusives and more AA exclusives than cows
