I choose these 2 games because SSBB is arguable the biggest game on the Wii and pretty much EVERY Wii owner is going to own the game at some point, and I choose Starcraft 2 for pretty much the same reasons, which game do you think is going to sell the most worldwide when all is said and done?
Starcraft 2, at launch, EASILY. Mind you up to date, Starcraft 1 has sold 9.4 MILLION copies worldwide. Everyone has the capacity for PC gaming, especially SC2 since the game will ship with the PC and Mac version on the same disc. Also, it is one of the biggest games to be announced ever. You really can't compare this to SSBB. And i'm a gamer who LOVES SSBB, just two different leagues my friend.

Ok, but say SC2 doesn't sell as many as SC1 did, aren't there more than 9 million Wii's currently in peoples homes? Say that EVERY Wii owner buys Brawl (not even including future buyers) won't brawl sell more than SC2?

SSBB intially, consoles are great for burst sales. However SC2 will undoubtly take the lead over time. I think SC1 is at around 15mil sells and still selling.
Starcraft2 will probably sell over 10 million. My guess is the sole reason the orignal hasn't sold far more is piracy in asian countries. Brawl will probably hit 7.5mil or so.
Okay TC, by your logic than SC2 HAS to outsell SSBB both initially and in the long run. While there are people who own wii's, a little over 20 million worldwide, all people in all gaming markets own PC's or Mac's. Hell there are people who would never pick up a console who play Blizzard games just because they are Blizzard games. And while SSBB is selling really well in its areas where it is released, it didn't sell an extreme amount at launch. It hasn't even put up Halo 3 numbers. Trust me, SC2 blows SSBB outta the water sales wise.

Most likely. Starcraft is a worldwide phenominom. How many millions did the first Starcraft sell.

Melee sold over 6 million copies all together on the Gamecube . If Brawl doesn't out do Melee by a pretty large margin with the way Wii is selling, it should be considered a disappointment. But as far as Brawl vs. Starcraft....*shrugs*

There is no way it's sold less than 10 million. It's Korea's national sport. and I don't know about other people but I don't know a single , for lack of a better word, hardcore gamer that doesnt own it.

The number I keep seeing is 16 million worldwide. That's a LOT.

The entire country of Korea is going to buy it. Think about it. Well not the North, damn Communists.

Of course it will, but it will probably take a lot longer. Starcraft 1 only sold 1 million ini ts first month, and has gone on to be one of the best selling games of all time. No doubt Starcraft 2 will reach similar heights.
Yes but when SC1 launched, it didn't have the hype or marketting that SC2 is receiving. It is like comparing the releases for SSB1 and SC1. And back when SC1 launched, selling a million copies in a month was a HUGE deal.
Most Likely Seeing That There Are Millions Of Pc And Mac Owners In The World But Possibly Noy Because Of All The Piracy Around

You need an original copy to play online multiplayer (blizzard's battle net). i don't think anybody is interested in starcraft 2 only for the single player. its an e-sport for christ sake. piracy will NOT be an issue with sc2. same as with world of warcraft.
IMO sc2 will sell much more than SSBB, specially in the long term. its my most anticipated game ever and i'll buy a copy for myself and copies for all my friends that i know that would be interested in the game at launch.:D
