Name one Wii game that sold more when it was released on the HD consoles?

Also, many of the characters on which the forecast was based are third party and may never be in the game.

I'd say that PASBR will, at best, sell 30% as much as Smash Bros. Brawl did. Maybe not even that. I'm thinking it'll get to 3 mil max.



If the game is bundled then it will do more than that. I'm willing to say anywhere from four to six million. Without bundling the max it would probably do is three. Bundling allows casuals who mostly game to see the games they otherwise would never see, but with the box art showcasing Sony's greatest characters in association its an easy buy during the holidays.


Oh yeah for sure. If they do a bundle I could see it passing 3 million. But bundle, aside I'm thinking 3 max, probably.

Yeah man, you have to do the work for casuals. Thats half the reason Nintendo sells so much as well today as they popularized console gaming in the 80's. They dont make it hard to find their games.

Sorry to say this but...

Are you Fu*king serious??
I know that you are a Sony "fanboy" but this is too much......

What I have seen so far about the game is that it's a Fu*king dissapointment,,,,,



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Wait until E3 to see more from it. They have far more to show of this.

I think these types of games appeal mostly to children so they will always do better on a more kid friendly console.

I believe it. Every time Sony has attempted to clone something similar to a Nintendo product, Sony always crushes Nintendo.

This will be no exception!

if the post count in battle royal threads of the last days is any indicator, it will sell huge numbers.


What about the views on that "Michael: Long Live Play" commercial?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdWkKKSckNk

11 MILLION VIEWS.

If at least half of those people who are interested buy the game, then it will be a huge success.

I personally watched that video four million times.

Um....no. This game is enjoyed by everyone from Children to adults and casuals to fighting game fanatics. I know people who play brawl so hardcore it would blow your mind and they are not children. Its just a fun game, but when people bring strategy into it, the game becomes something far more competitive than you ever thought possible.

Nintendo finally got some competition with there Smash Bros games so I thought of there first Nintendo characters figther game Super Smash Bros on the N64 going up against Sony characters first fighter Playstation All-Star's Battle Royale. I believe that ASBR is going to be able to outsell Nintendos original SSB which sold a very respectable 5.55 million. Sony should be able to get over 3 - 4 million by years end (if it has an early holiday release) and throught 2013 outselling it.

Now as for Super Smash Bros Melee this could take a couple years but I can see ASBR outselling it eventually, with extra DLC from different companies like SquareEnix, Capcom, Sega, Kojima etc there plenty of potential for the game, not to mention online will be big with tournaments. SSB Melee sold 7.07 million.

Super Smash Bros Brawl is about my limit, passing it would be quite an accomplishment and theres so few PS3 games that do over 10 million that it's doubtful, I'm willing to say All-Stars Battle Royale will end around 7 - 8 million.

Sony has the advantage this time with the bigger userbase then the N64 and GC, and it's basically what the Sony fans have been drooling over for decades. This is the beginning of Sony's next big franchise, over time they could make a Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale game that can do over 10 million, whether its this gen or not is the question.

Names a little tedious to write all the time though.....


Wait a minute, Sony fans have been drooling over PASBR since at least 1992? Since before PS1 existed? interesting. Joking aside, I stick by my 3 mil prediction (if there's no bundle). Even if PS3's install base is far greater than N64's and Gamecube's I still don't see PASBR passing any of the smash bros' sales. First one maybe, but unless there is a bundle I don't think there's a chance.
