Hey OriGin, how about the bet: First month sales of Brawl vs. Kart. The loser gets a 2 days ban, but will have the result of the ban forever on their signature.

How's that ;)

2 months... i'm not that crazy!! I know that Brawl will be in front after 2 months, without a doubt. I've even said it multiple times in this thread.

1 year is cutting it close but I think it can take the lead within a year... People are forgetting the types of games that have been selling on Wii, maybe i'm drastically off about Brawl. Who knows? We'll see but I'm pretty convinced and willing to bet on it :)

And the point about Wii Fit is a certain conclusion. I have no doubt at all that Wii Fit will outsell both of these titles. Absolutely no doubt. If people have seen how Brain Training took of in Europe just wait until Wii Fit DOUBLES that or more.

Since when did smash bros become this ultra hardcore series?

Everyone I know wants brawl, and I might not get mario kart because I'm not really interested.

It didn't... but in regards to games, you associate with gamers.

No one is really taking into account how much Nintendo has infact expanded the audience, and i'm basing my prediction on the fact that Brawl WILL sell extremely well, however it will be reserved to the Nintendo fans, while Mario Kart will bust into a broader demographic and will appeal to a far wider subsection of Nintendo's new market, and therefore I feel it will sell better than brawl.

The fact that Brawl sold so much in Japan in the first week proves it to me even more, this is typical 'hardcore' game behaviour and the sales will drop away faster than with Mario Kart which will not start off as strongly.

I hope SSBB sells more. SSBB will be the better game, IMO. MKW will still be amazing though.

I mean, Brawl's first month vs Kart's first month :)

Yeah and I think Brawl will be in front.

STILL both of the games are gonna be fun!!!

If this is anything like the DS, which it actually might be, I predict something like this. Note: this is not my prediction, if it is like DS it just might look like this, I won't bet on it.

Category 1: Main casual games. These games are mainly bought be casuals, but of course, also some hardcore, these are for everyone to enjoy (excpet shooter morons). Quality is not how good the games really are, but how good they are in sales.

Games in category 1:

Top quality:
Nintendogs, 17.5M.
Brain Training: 11.69M
More Brain Training: 9.85M.

Medium quality
Big Brain Acadamy: 4.72M
Pokemon Rescue Team: 3.1M
English Training for adults: 3.1M


Category 2: Slightly casual games. Not all casuals will want to buy these games, you have to be interested in games to buy these.

Pokemon D/P - 13,65M.
New SMB: 13.16M
Mario kart DS: 9.45M
Sm64DS: 5.68M

Category 3: Medium games.
Animal Crossing wild world: 8.9M
tLoZ:PH: 3.52M.

Category 4: Core games: None above 3M.

If I were to put the big games in these categories, it would be like this:

1: Wii Sports,Fit and Play. Mario and Sonic. Mario Party 8. Wario Ware.

2. Mario Kart Wii.

2.5. SMG, SPM, SSBB

3. , tLoZ:TP,

4. Metroid Prime, Re4.

I don't mean literarry that each in these categories will sell like that. You could say something like:

1: 90 % of base has potential of buying
2: 66 % of base might buy.
2.5: 50 % of base might buy.
3.0 33 % of base might buy.
4.0: 15 % of base has a potential of buying.
