Smash bros. isn't even a AAA series. Loved only by nintendo fanboys who will play anything Nintendo gives them.

LOL. Somebody's hopelessly out of touch with reality. "Loved only by Nintendo fanboys"? Get real.

[QUOTE="Redmoonxl2"][QUOTE="edeasknight"][QUOTE="Redmoonxl2"][QUOTE="edeasknight"]like all fighting games, smash brothers is a niche game, whereas gta has mass appeal. we can argue day and night about which game is better than the other, but gta will sell more. i think thats a given.Bread_or_Decide



Smash must be part of one hell of a niche if it managed to sell over 6 million and continues to enjoy a strong tourny community support that's 5 years strong.



it was a launch title. the only game i had on my gamecube for ages when i bought it at launch was smash bros melee. it was all i played for months, but yes, it is a niche game. all nintendo fans will buy it, but how many people who bought the wii for wii sports will buy brawl when its not a launch game? not as many as will buy gta because you can shoot people, steal cars and beat up hookers. sad but true.



That's horrible reasoning considering that not all launch titles get as much attention. The mere fact that the game kept selling after the launch window and hit the 6 million shows the series' popularity. In comparison, games like MGS3, the first Halo, God of War, Kingdom Hearts and Devil May Cry actually sold less than Smash Bros Melee. Niche? I think not.

Gamecube owners had little else to play so of course they all bought it.

that's no excuse, there was luigi's mansion, and that starwars game, along with a lot of other games.

[QUOTE="Teh_Stevz"]But SSB isn't mass popular as it (Taking Cakeorrdeath's shocking figures into account).arinya
What do you mean? According to those figures SSBM is twice as popular here even when you combine both the PS3 and 360 owners wishlist numbers!

I wish the numbers they posted we're gospel but it's from just a website. If you want any indication take a look at the UK charts... Yeah. Not the best example but thats how horrible it is. :cry: But to a degree the attach rate of SSBB to GTAIV with those numbers might be higher

That's what I mean SSBM will have a greater effect on the Wii than GTA will have on either of the consoles its on because its exclusive

Judging by Gamespot's wishlists I would tend to agree.

So what did Nintendo do to garner your hate? Eat your puppy Fluff Fluff? Seems kinda pointless to flame like you are doing now.

By the way, Smash is a very hardcore tournament game that is played all around the world. If the game was shallow, it wouldn't have lasted as long. This is the reason why people are hyping for Brawl.
