I remember when people were predicting outrageous sales for Metroid Prime 3 (some were even thinking it's sales would rival Halo 3's), of course we now know that it is simply not the case. So basically the only thing that can be said is that all sure bets are off the table when it comes to the Wii because it really is harder to predict what kind of sales it's games will have. Everyone predicting incredibly high sales for Nintendo's hardcore franchise titles have to remember that the Wii's userbase is now much more diverse and a title like SSBB might not sell as well as some people are expecting. I'm not saying it won't sell in the millions but you're comparing it against a title like Halo 3 in which the vast majority of the userbase is attracted to such games. |
some people have no sense, those same people were saying Metriod was one of Nintendos "big 3" when it clearly is not.....best selling games on the GC were Mario Kart and SSBM, closely followed by Super Mario Sunshine....Prime was 6th and Prime 2 was 30th
Best selling games on the X-box was Halo 2, followed by Halo (quite a way behind) then much further behind is Tom Clancy splinter cell....Halo was all the x-box had in terms of AAA sellers (3 million+)
I think Halo 3 will probably manage similar numbers to Halo 2 (8.0-8.5 million) wheras MK and SSBB will definately sell at least 7 million each , and have the potential to sell much more (probably nearing 10 million)
