What game do you think will end up selling more copies? Super Mario Galaxy, or Halo 3? I think Super Mario Galaxy will sell more, for I think that more people will own a Wii, than an Xbox 360. I also think that there will be a higher percentage of Wii owners, whom will own Super Mario Galaxy, than Xbox 360 owners, whom will own Halo 3. What do you think?

You're using the word "whom" wrong.

Whom = Noun

Who = Pronoun

 

An easy way to remember: if there is a verb acting on the noun, it is a pronoun.

Examples: Who owns this? <-- In this sentence, the verb "own" is acting on the noun "who."

To whom does this belong? <-- In this sentence, the verb "does" is acting on the noun "this."

 

Who did what to whom?


Wow that is so wrong.

Who = subject
Whom = object

They're both pronouns.  It's like the difference between using "I" and "me".

If wii keeps outselling the 360 like it is yes there is a good chance of it outselling halo 3

percentage wise i dont know, right now halo is what almost 40% attachment? Only other games doing that have been super mario brothers and a few others



                 With regard to Call of Duty 4 having an ultra short single player campaign, I guess it may well have been due to the size limitations of DVD on the XBox 360, one of various limitations multi-platform game designers will have to take into consideration-Mike B   

Proud supporter of all 3 console companys

Proud owner of 360wii and DS/psp              

Game trailers-Halo 3 only dissapointed the people who wanted to be dissapointed.

Bet with Harvey Birdman that Lost Odyssey will sell more then Blue dragon did.

Firstly, SMG ain't going to be selling millions in Japan.

Secondly, SMG will sell more then Halo 3 because of Europe sales. Pure and Simple. I think the US Halo 3 sales will be higher then the SMG US sales. So in the end, Europe sales will be the reason SMG outsells Halo 3.

Who's on first base? Who is on first base. Who's on first base? lol

Yeah, but my usage of who vs. whom is correct ;)

I just forgot what they're called.  It's been over 15 years since I've learned sentence mapping.



My End of 2008 Hardware Predictions (console only):

Wii : 50 million

360: 28 million

PS3: 24 million

These predictions were made on January 3rd and won't be revised

This is actually pretty hard to guess. My expectations are as follows:

Halo 3 will sell more than Halo 2
SMG will sell more than SMS
SMG will have comparatively larger legs than Halo 3

With those 3 things said, and with the current numbers taken into consideration, I think SMG will sell slightly more. I think both will end up north of 10 million sold, but I think that Halo 3's performance out of the gate will take time and effort to overcome. A better comparison I think is SSBB, which I think will do a million or so more than Halo 3 lifetime.

Its all about how long legs both games have ... bot Mario and Halo games are well known for dooing great on the long-run , so either could be a winner :)

Galaxy will end up with the better sales at the end of their respective lifetimes. Both games are going to sell ridiculously well, of course, so I'm not sure how much that matters. Galaxy won't pass Halo 3 until late in 2008 at the earliest, and probably not until 2009. I say this because as we move further into this generation, the Wii's install base lead is going to grow larger and larger over the 360. The two consoles are essentially even right now, but by the end of 2008 the Wii should have a lead of more than 10m consoles. (I'm estimating that we'll see something along the line of 42m Wiis and 25m 360s by the end of next year. That's a huge disparity, and it will only grow larger in 2009.) Even though Halo will always have a higher attach rate, the sheer number of Wiis out there will result in more people picking up a copy of Galaxy.

But I'm really more interested in continuing the argument between "who" and "whom".
