Ummm remember last generation didn't SmashBros:Melee kick Mario's butt even by less then a mill thats a huge accomplishment. What makes you think that the Wii who is gathering former fans of Sega's platforms (Began on GameCube) won't see far greater Brawl success then Galaxy.
Honestly while I think Galaxy has a chance of becoming a very big seller this fall I doubt it will over take Brawl day one or even over its entire lifespan. Brawl is one of the few online games being released on the Wii this year and that alone will give it an edge. Galaxy also seems to be an unconventional Mario game which inturn makes it a loose cannon. The unconventional innovative style of gameplay may not appeal to as many of theestablished base while Brawl is remaining completely true to its roots. Will innovation (Mario:Galaxy) or familiarity(Brawl) wi.
Also keep in mind that both Snake and Sonic are expected to be in Brawl one of them already confirmed. These two characters are to be joined by a third , Nintendo stated about 3- third party characters would be playable. They will inturn attract gamers who may have passed by Brawl. Sega fans for example will be inclined to take the fight to the litteral level pitting Sonic against Mario. This will give Brawl a bulstered position in the industry.
Also release right before Christmas can't possibly be seen as a downer. Where as Mario is recieving a release about a month in advance. The last minute Christmas rush and the fact that kids will not have Brawl likely before Christmas increases the chances of it being bought as a gift exponentially. In the end that alone will bulster its day one sales opposed to Mario's.
I think that Brawl will be far more successful then Mario:galaxy what do you think?
