Will SSBB be able to compete with GTAIV?

Super Smash Bros. doesn't have the publicity that GTA does. GTA will sell more consoles. Question is, why should they have to compete? They're two totally different games.nyoroism

Well said.  I personally think both games provide equally flawed gameplay (although in dramatically different ways).  That being said, why are we forcing these games to compete?  They're targeted at completely different audiences.

No. SSBB is not the system seller that GTA and Halo are.rykaziel

LOL

GTA4 blows SSBB outta the water, in a popularity contest.

I LOVE violent videogames.....

but I played the GTA that was supposed to be amazing on PS2.....and the game was so stupid......it was like a BAD "TRUE CRIMES"........guarenteed Brawl will sell more copies

I think it will. Nearly 1/2 of all Gamecube owners owned melee. This game is getting far more hype, and the Wii is on pace to pass the Gamecube in sales as early as next year. With the positive media attention the Wii is getting and the addition of online play, I would be willing to bet that this game outsells every game this generations with the exception of Pokemon. If melee was sold that well on a last place console, I can't help but wonder what it does on Wii.SmashBrosLegend

Do you really wanna leave GS, or wait.....do you NOT wanna leave?

The American gaming market is really dumb (no offense) since they see a game where you can beat up hookers or shoot the same aliens with two guns at the same time now and say "Hey, I think violence is great!" Now, SSBB is a beat-em-up game, but it is so much less violent than the other two. It's more arcade like and will probably advance the series with more features, more characters, online, new ways to play, new modes, etc. No, it won't be able to compete as well cause America likes to beat up hookers and shoot up aliens and their trash-talking friends. The rest of the world, well, I don't know what they like to play...

Sarcasm On:  Nice excessive generalization.  I would consider accusing the Japanese of idoly worshipping marketing icons who shove cutesy -- pointless -- forms of linear gameplay down there throats, but, thankfully, I realize that such a generalization would be somewhat rude and inaccurate.

Just as many younger gamers drool at the sight of their favorite marketing icons pointlessly bashing in each others heads during a giant all-out marketing spree.  Both games are terrible for different reasons; keep this in mind.

Well yeah GTA is on two systems so SSBB will obviously slow down first. This isn't really a fair comparison when you think about it.

Well when you put it that way then you just ended your own thread :P
