Halo 2's on line and its cult-like following has kept it selling. It will probably stop now because (a) Halo 3 is out and (b) Gamestop my "use list" all new Xbox games soon (they just did it to Gamecube).
That being said, SSBB will have both. I never meant to buy a Smash Brothers Game. I bought the N64 version at a yard sale because it was $5. I bought the GC version during a buy 2, get 1 free used game sale. Both have received a lot of play. I am now part of the cult and plan to get Brawl ASAR (as soon as released).
So where does this rambling statemnet take us. Brawl and Halo 3 will both sell for several years. But if current trends continue and the Wii will continues to be bought in higher numbers than the Xbox 360, it is very likely that Brawl will emerge. A 30 percent attach rate gives Brawl 9 M in sales on 30 M in hardware. If Halo 3 has a 40 percent attach rate but only sells 20M units, it sells 8M copies.
(Attach rates: SSMB 30.7%, Halo 26.6%, Halo 2 34.5%, Halo 3 45.3%)
 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
