I don't. Well I do on the concept of course, but not with the statement.

Here in The Netherlands, we were bombarded with PSABR atvertisements during November and December. TV-commercials in every break, massive poster adds at stations and the like. It was only about everywhere. Haven't seen a Brawl add in any form years, however. Yet, Brawl is still full price here, while PSABR is usually discounted.

In the USA (Florida, to be exact) I haven't seen anything. Literally nothing for this game.

Weird.

Well, at any rate it didn't do any better over with all those adds .

Funnest is not a word.  Was I being a jerk about the whole situation?  You are just being......You know what I don't feel like getting banned because of you.  You have no business commenting on everything I do Jay.  The other guy was handling it much better than you.


"Couldn't care less" is not the correct phrase. Was I being a jerk about the whole situation? No, I'm handling this well. There are no personal attacks in my post. My correction of your post is the same as your correction of Kakashi's post. I'm just informing you of your error. It's not my fault you don't like being corrected.

Actually, "Couldn't care less" IS the correct phase. I don't know how or why "Could care less" started but it's nonsensical and incorrect. Also "couldn't care less" is used in publication. Just saying.

Well I'm pretty sure everyone knew PSABR was going to be a flop. Even the guy's proclaiming 3, 4 or 5 million knew deep down inside that this game was going to flop.


I agree with you. It's only $40 now,I might get it,when they cut to $20,which probably won't be two much longer. lol

I've seen a couple youtube ads. Nothing in the TV though.

I voted doesn't mean shit. All Stars was never going to sell Smash Bro numbers and we knew that since the day they announced it, they also have different game play mechanics, which is bad for the Sony game since Nintendo games usually have a trend to be more accessible yet have a lot of depth at the same time, while most Sony games are not accessible to the average non gaming joe.

Also, if I'm going to be really argumentative:

PSABR has sold 39,307 the last two weeks on VGChartz's numbers.

SSBB has sold 35,394 the last two weeks on VGChartz's numbers.

If you were to to mention something about only counting the home console versions in the OP then what you said would be true. But as it stands, PSABR is available on two consoles and has outsold SSBB, which is available on one console, these past two weeks.

(And that's also not counting digital downloads, which are possible for Playstation-All Stars but not Smash).

(And that Smash is available in Japan but PSABR hasn't released there yet).

Lemon out.


That's actually a really crazy number from SSBB considering that the game came out in 2008, and is on the Wii, it's impressive.

Absolutely.  Nintendo software in particularly is still selling pretty well on Wii, especially for a "dead" console.

Had the spirit of this thread been different, it could've been a celebration of that more than anything else.  Unfortunately, that's not often how things work around here.

Welcome to the site, by the way!

Just going to say it since no one else will. Sony All Stars sucks. Ok sucks might be too harsh but it isnt all that good either. I haaaated the beta.

I haven't played All-Stars yet, but Brawl compared to Melee sucks. I stopped playing Brawl after 2 months, but Melee lasted me several years.

Melee is the best in my opinion as well.
