hmm this is an interesting topic, on one hand you have Brawl which Melee was the best selling game on the GC but is now on the lead console and has constant major hype which for the most part is generated by its own one little site or people themselves. Then you get the percent of titles sold per console, IE 30% of GameCube (21.5mil) owners bought Melee (6.58mil), and try to do that with Wii (I used 19 million to be forgiving) at this moment would be about 5.7 million units of Brawl.

Then you have GTA4, which has always had great sales and is going to be on multiple consoles, but until right before Christmas the talk about the game almost completely died, at least from the people I know, the forums I see, and the statistics on gaming sites like IGN shown a big drop off of searches for GTA4 at one point and hasn't got quite back up to where it was, then thinking in terms of in the past GTA was on the PS2 where you have 115 million units out there and 15 million GTA SA units sold so about 13% of PS2 owners bought it, which would tally up to 2 million units of GTA4 on 360, and about 1 million on PS3, so 3 million together.

I think it will probably be neck and neck out of the starting gate, but it will be up to the initial buyers of both games that will stir up the longevity of them, which going for that record I would have to go with Brawl in the end, people seen GTA they know what it is and what its about doesn't seem to have changed the formula just added to it, Brawl is changing things up and from the look of it for the better, then add the fact that its a great multiplayer experience, just gotta give the nod to Brawl, it is going to be a close one, and I hope people buy both, but if you're like me one sandbox is enough to play with =P
