Forums - Sales - What if Mario Party 8 outsells Halo 3?

Halo 3 its at 49.99$ , MP8 will never come close to Halo 3 !



Around the Network

MP8 will continue to sell good, but I don't see Halo 3 dropping far, if at all, below 50k either. Even if it stopped selling completely, 50k per week is still "just" 2.5M per year, and it'd take two years to catch up.

Not going to happen, especially since there's probably a new Mario Party on the way.



no but it should pass Gears of War some day. That is wild enough, SMG, SSBB, and Mario Kart all have a shot of passing Halo, especially considering how big the base is going to be.



psn- tokila

add me, the more the merrier.

MP9 will kill MP8 sales though, come summer 2008.

Saying that, MP8 has been an incredible seller.



If it happened, it would perfectly paint the direction in which the industry is going. It's time to face facts: we're moving away from classic games and onto party multiplayer madness. I personally like the move, just not when it's shit like Mario Party though.

Mario Party 9 is what will prevent that. I do think MP9 has a serious chance. Especially when the Wii doubles the userbase of the 360 sales comparisons will get ugly.



Final* Word on Game Delays:

The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.

Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.

Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.

*naznatips is exempt

@ Mr. Money

I believe you are right, which makes me believe that SSBB will be one of the best selling games in history with final totals near GTA San Andreas, everyone likes SSB games core and casual alike-

If it did it would be the end of the world as we know it. But very unlikely for all the reasons already mentioned above.



 

and the only way i think it could outsell it is if it gets bundled



I doubt it will sell more than Halo 3, but still Mario Party 8 is selling amazingly well for a party game. But the fact that it will probably sell more than the Wii version of Twilight Princess and maybe even Gears of War is scary enough.



Currently Playing: Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Super Smash Bros for Wii U

Predictions:

Super Mario Galaxy will pass Super Mario 64 in total sales CORRECT!
