ALL marioboys bought SMG and Wii? Or speculations made on SMG and SMS sales

[Fastrabbit09]

a) u are seriously mistaken if u think that FF has close to the potential user base as Mario...a little hint: the vast majority of people do not like RPGs, while the very vast majority of people who have ever owned a console have owned at least one platformer

b) there is a HUGE difference between being a 90% title and being the highest rated title for a system...the great majority of new Wii owners will consider getting SMG...obv most won't, but it'll be a consideration at least

c) Master Chief is nowhere near the 2nd or 3rd or 5th most recognizable video game character...your average consumer has never heard of Master Chief...I didn't even know of Master Chief until a month or so ago, and I've been a gamer since '87. I knew of Halo obviously, but didn't know Master Chief was the character's name. Lara Croft, Sonic, Pokemon and others are much bigger.
