[QUOTE="Lazy_not_fat"]sorry :| whats ur point?

master cheif is a robot = cool
mario is a plumber = ahh...Flipnblack

 

Crash was a...Bandicoot?

Sonic was a Hedgehog?

Viva Pinata was full of...Pinatas?

 So what if he's a plumber?

Robot > Mario = Opinion.



Robot > Plumber = Opinion + System Wars = Fact to the Xth power.

 

Wow. Math for 4-year-olds. I'm floored. You actually place System Wars as something important?

How about Branding+Franchise name+Wide Appeal= plumber > Robot.

Check this out The trailer for Halo 3

Awesome, right? Does it get your blood pumped? When was the original Halo released? End of 2001, right? SO, you've been able to love Master Chief for the past 6 years almost. Sweet.

 

Now, check THIS HERE out.

Why do Wii owners get bashed for getting pumped about this guy? We've been able to love him for the past 22 years...that's almost 4 times longer than Halo. Fanboyism aside, that's an entire childhood for some people.

[QUOTE="Hammerofjustice"]Halo isnt in there, neither is gears of war, this thread fails.Brown52

 

These are actual sales figures, idiot!

Halo and GoW aren't in there because they didn't sell enough....

Yeah, he knows that, he's being what you call a fakeboy.

 

Riiight.

 

Numbers don't lie. I know that it would settle better in your stomach if I was a fakeboy, but I'm not.

Wow...

Really though, go take some reading comprehension classes, read what I said, then you can comment back.

HammerofJustice is being a fakeboy because he is acting like he is a lemming when he actually does **** like rate Gears of War a 1.0 

:roll:

Well, apologies then. No need for "reading comp. classes", but I obviously read your post incorrectly.

It will do well.

Lots of people say that it won't, saying that "Teh Gamecube suked, so the Wii will suk!!"

The Gamecube didn't suck. It was just number 3 in line.

Case in point, the Dreamcast put Sega out of business. The Gamecube did NOT put Nintendo out of business.

[QUOTE="Idonomeus"][QUOTE="shungokustasu"][QUOTE="Idonomeus"]

You think series like Sonic, Street Fighter and Crash Bandicoot are on the same level as newer series that aren't on the list such as Halo? The gamers didn't die but the series did.Idonomeus



What you saying is erase history and make room for the future? I'm sorry that doesn't sit well with me. I think these numbers goes to show you that this games deserve some respect. Not just Halo and Gears of War. Also Sonic just is not dead a new game was release a few months back. I know alot of the casuals think Street Fighter is dead. Sad they are ignorant of the truth about SF.



No I'm saying that in the context of this generations system wars many series on that list are of little importance. I wasn't the one that started on the topic on sales but that is what this thread is about. Sales wise the games I mentioned are not as important this generation as past generations.

The huge amount of Tomb Raider, GTA, Sims, Final Fantasy, Mario, Zelda, Tekken, Resident Evil, etc. etc. etc. etc. games that are coming out THIS GEN would disagree with you.



I said many not all but even from the ones you listed many of those series are in decline and only GTA, Mario and Final Fantasy did better than Halo last generation. Please check the figures yourself.

Your link is for an online site. My figures are from a published multiplatform gaming magazine. I tend to trust the latter, not the former.

Although I loved the original NiGHTS, Sega Saturn was never huge, and NiGHTS didn't recieve a ton of popularity. No matter what anyone says, NiGHTS won't be the deciding factor in ANY "system wars". If it was, then the Wii is in big trouble.

And reviews don't really matter as much as you think. Almost every Bioware/Black Isle RPGe that ever came out got wonderful reviews, but Black Isle still went under.

Panzer_Zwei

It did among Saturn owners. Although it dropped in price relatively early, it didn't sold as expected, even with the free 3D controller.

I should have written "sales numbers" instead of "popularity", but you get the idea.
