Here's the thing. If Nintendo decides to do a multi-million marketing blitz in the few weeks before, then surpassing Halo 3 is likely, especially if they have a premiere at least as showy as Halo 3's.
I would love to see Nintendo sponsor a couple block parties to celebrate the launch of the game.
On that note, I would also love to see Take Two have a huge block party for GTA IV, with Lazlo being the MC, and celebrities who did voice acting, like Ray Liotta and Sam L Jackson.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
