| daactualfact said: Wow Gearbox. Thx for the totally pointless post. Do you want to see the game fail? OT: This will probably be one of the biggest selling games from E3 coming. I mean, LOTS of people thought Mario Kart Wii would perform lackluster. It's now well on its way to become the best selling exclusive of this year and one of the best of this generation. |
Lots of people thought it would perform poorly, or lackluster as you put it? Who were these people? I don't think there's a single person out there who didn't think it would sell at least several million copies. Just the norm: Fanboys putting words in non-existant mouths.
That said, there's no easy way to accurately predict the sales for the game. One sold 3 million, the other will end up selling 10 million and is still selling strong. So where do we put sales of this game? When you have such a rift between two games in a series, you have to wonder.
Anyways, it doesn't matter to me, the consumer. Overall, this isn't some pissing contest, this is a way to grab the consumer's attention. I happen to have never bought an Animal Crossing game, and it's pretty obvious that no one would care about Pit if he wasn't featured in Brawl. Before, only a couple of fanboys remembered the game. Now, it's worshipped by people who aren't even old enough to have played it when it first came out!
I think Wii Music will steal the show if it's announced, and I'm sure Sony will show some interesting games from their second parties.
