"System Seller"

[Commando]

Well for me The biggest system seller I ever witnessed is Super Mario Bros.

To me, from my perspective, Wii Sports is the reverse. I'm not saying people werent excited to play it, but I think 50 million people would've bought the Wii reguardless of the game packaged with it. It was the novelty of the system. When SMB came out it was the novelty of the game, where the screen actually moved!, that had people going and buying the system.

Uh other notables I would say a lot of people bought a PS2 early on waiting for MGS2. and perhaps the magic was doen again with Mario 64. I mean it and pilotwings were the only launch games and it was slow with the titles. So yeah Mario 64 sold units. I'm pretty sure Mario64 hit 1million units virtually same time as N64 hadware hit it. I think at the time 1 in 4 people bought Pilotwings and few thereafter.

Halo and XBOX seemed to go hand in hand to me, kinda hard to tell which sold which, but then again with as obnoxious as Halo Fanboys were, most non xbots didn't want to hear about it.

As much as I hate it Madden definatly sold systems, as Ive stated before I saw so many College dorm rooms with PS2s and a copy of Madden 2002 with Nothing else (sometimes not even DVD Movies). GTAIII had a similar effect.

Final Fantasy I think brought straglers to the respective system the series was on. Although an Insane sale at a place where I worked really sold the PS to me. Final Fantasy Tactics and certainly when FF Anthology came out, really could have done it themselves, along with MGS which I remember pushed a few itself.

I think Sonic Dazzled people with the Genesis in the begining but not as much as other big hits. but it did show off the power of the Genesis, ALMOST as if it were a gimmick *gasp. Heavens to Betsy did I just say that, but yeah it was still a good game, but ti did seem the logical display title cause of the speed

I doubt Virtua Fighter sold too many saturns

....... I think thats all I got

Halo 3 prolly pushed 360s before its street date.
