You misinterpreted. I meant when MK came out this past spring, we had seen the impact of the casual audience on consoles, and as such many of us expected MK to see stellar sales as a bridge title (selling to both casuals and the core). In 2006, I doubt many of us expected these casuals at all... Seriously. MK outselling Halo? Think back to the days of the Gamecube and try and tell me you saw that coming... |
Erm, you realise Mario Kart Double Dash has sold more than the orignal Halo right?
Had I thought about it, I would have seen this coming yes, the GameCube failed in the markets where Mario Kart matters most (Europe and Japan) If it hadn't Double Dash could have outsold Halo 2 as well.... Mario Karts appeal is huge.
Halo's appeal is mostly limited to Americans (as are a lot of XB and X360 games) and the XB happened to do quite well in America.
