Considering Metroid will do much, much better in America than Japan, and considering Brawl likely does not have much text to translate, it looks like "the big three" along with Mario & Sonic and perhaps Disaster: Day of Crisis could make it out in the USA to combat Halo 3, GTA, Mass Effect, Too Human and Assassin's Creed for the Xbox 360, and GTA, MGS4, Assassin's Creed and the PS3 lineup.



How?... How can you set out this poor Disaster game or Mario & Sonic (!) against monsters like Halo, GTA or MGS4? This listing looks funny even as a text... The truth is Nintendo has nothing to compete against them. Nothing. Metroid will bomb in Japan (maybe not bomb - they just don't like it).

Yes, it's very true the 2007 is a year of Nintendo and Wii but this will change in the future.


 All of these games cater for THE SAME group of gamers... of course they are going to sell well but in the end Nintendo's lineup is much stronger from a broad spectrum point of view.

Do the Nintendo releases suit me? Probably not as much as the PC Lineup + Assassins Creed, Halo and GTAIV  but in terms of sales, I believe that Nintendo has a far upper hand.  This doesn't mean that each of the other consoles aren't going to sell well, but with the broad specrum of games that Nintendo has got they just have way more power over a much larger portion of people than the games that you listed have over more than a core / hardcore gamer / shooter / mature market... the mature market is what built the PS2's success but unfortunately the mature market is now the minority.
