SMG is a lot better than halway decent. Sonic was going to take Mario down too because he was marketed as cooler. Does anyone remember that? Mario doesnt need to be cool. His games are. |
I don't think that's the case, since I doubt the people who buy a 360 in '08 have already bought Halo 3. :P I agree with Stof that Halo will have some decent legs, even though its sales are extremely front-loaded.
SMG has two major advantages over Halo 3. The first is that its potential market is growing much faster than Halo's. The second is that it has very little competition in its genre on any platform, let alone the Wii. Halo is up against an endless parade of shooters with better single-player experiences and very competitive multiplayer experiences. Competition to appease this market on the 360 is already fierce, and it gets tougher every month.
