Not sure why that's relevant. But it wouldn't be the first time a game with Mario in it outsold a Halo game.

Whoo-yeah! Now I feel like Kirbyciding someone, ;).

I wonder who's next on the potential 10m seller list by the way; JD2? It looks to have a better chance at it than DKCR, though they may both make it, :D.

I kind of doubt Just Dance 2 will make it. Its sales should mellow down a bit after christmas, and it's going to get a sequel at some point. I'd guess around 8 million seems more likely. 10 million is possible, but I'd consider it highly unlikely.

I'd say Wii Party is far, far more likely to reach 10 million. Donkey Kong Country Returns also has a chance of making it, assuming that it becomes bundled with the Wii (similarily to how Mario Kart Wii and New Super Mario Bros. Wii are) in the future.

I don't really see the Wii getting many more 10 million sellers. The future games simply have too much competition from the old ones (Mario Kart Wii, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Plus).

Well, I expect it to have a 100k/week pace through next year (counting holidays). It has a far larger fanbase and has had even more time for word of mouth to spread. Word of mouth, when it's almost unanymously good can be very effective. I tell two friends, they tell two each and so on. I believe that that's gonna happen, and with this large base gained from the huge holidays, the effect will multiply.

Not as if my logic's never been wrong before though...

Wii Party, I'd say, is a shoe-in for 10m. DKCR, I think could make it, even without a bundle, because it has the NSMB base to delve into. Not as likely though, obviously.

I think that Wii has quite a few 10m sellers left, actually. Whilst JD2 prolly won't make it, JD3 will more likely than not do it. Also, so far, Nintendo has a track record of churning out 10m sellers almost every year on Wii. I think this should continue and, actually, pick up its pace by making the games hit lower amounts higher than 10 (early teens) rather than making a few huge titles that'll sell upwards of 20m. That already seems to be happening.

I like how Sony has tricked the newer generations into believing in price cuts and the 'Platinum/BUDGET' range. Works well for gimmicks and fads but not for classics.

Nintendo will cut the price in about 20 years and you'll be buying it as a CLASSIC.

How much does Monopoly retail for these days?

If you have played any of the other Smash Bros then yes, it's a terrible game. But otherwise no

I have all three games. I played all three games to a much greater extent then you could possibly imagine. Brawl is not a terrible game, far from it. I doubt you know anything about any of the games in fact. Stop your pointless hating.


Brawl isn't a terrible game. It's a fun game and I liked it. But it has some problems that make it mediocre compared to SSB64 or Melee. I too have clocked many hours in the time I have owned the game.

1. Tripping is the most useless, annoying feature ever. It makes it less fun.

2. The online component doesn't work well, I can't get a good connection on it.

3. Compared to the others, the game is very slow (imo). I feel the pace is too slow.

4. Character balance is the worst of the three (imo). Meta Knight by far is quite broken, having virtually no lag but having power and destructiveness. Snake to a lesser extent is broken. And the difference between the top and the bottom character is a large in playability/winnability (if that's a better term).

Nintendo keeps games prices high on purpose (For profit I believe, but I'm not completely sure if it works on all their games, so I'm not completely sure), not because it is a CLASSIC.

Nintendo doesn't keep the prices high, the market does.

Tell me, why don't other publishers keep game prices high on purpose, for profit?

It's just simple but people seems to not understand. Demand is there, hence the price not dropping.

As a business (retailers), why should you sell the item for less when you can keep selling it at full price?
