Bundles not counting on NPD, different number of weeks, buggier, two platforms being summed... quite hard to conclude that for 1st week SSBB were in front.


what date did both games release in NA? 


SSB 21 of November, Halo MCC 11 of November...


wow that's impressive for Smash. I was under the impression that it had the extra days because a shit load of people were expecting Halo to walk this one. Safe to say the MCC got smashed. 

starting to think about I feel bad for halo it might have did under 1 million(and possibly 800k) first week :(



Bets:

(Won)Bet with TechoHobbit: He(Techno) says 10 million by January 1,2014 I say 9 million by then. Winner gets 2 weeks of sig control.

(Lost)Bet with kinisking: I say Ps4 will win April NPD while he says Xbox One will win it; winner gets 1 week of avatar control.

pretty impressive for a game that was only out for 1 week and 2 days to be a great remaster with a 2 million bigger userbase


SSB is a great game and were expected to sell a lot.

Wii version sold 12M and GC were 7M. It was raising after every version. And a new entry versus a collection is more than expected the new entry on a loved franchise could sell better.

Smash is a good seller after all. And Halo MCC is a remake.

But Since we don't fully know the number of SW bundled and how much the Halo sales were concentrated, we can't be sure... but yep quite possible that SSB outsold MCC.

 

The funny thing was Seece posing as great predictor and another user upholding him and bashing ethomaz saying that one was usually right because he is racional while indicating ethomaz is full of crap. But them we see this thread.

Word of mouth basically killed MCC. Sad.

Have they fixed it yet? (the online)

Etho wears his heart on his sleeve and I respect him for that. He's banned so can't stand up for himself and I noticed a certain user or two rubbing in his wrong PS4 NPD prediction. I also seen it going on other random walls I clicked on too. 

For that reason alone I'm delighted some of the same people having a go at Etho were horribly predicting the sales for MCC. Remember at one point "anything under 1M was crazy talk". I guess crazy people get some things right after all!

It's still being patched. Getting better tho!



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

I'm always delighted when people show their true stripes. Talk about all the level headness, all the rational and well tough analysis and them succumb to their real colors.

I preffer the pandas, the gokus and other crystal clear fans that don't pretend or hide their preferences and assume their bias than the fake politiness and level headed bashing just avoiding the banworthy words or clear cut attacks... but ow well, that is just me.

Good to know... on a 0-10 scale how is the server stability, speed to enter a game, etc?

Varies from person to person, but for me, on a 1/10 scale, it's over a 6/10. I can get into games somewhat quickly, but they can either be uneven in teams, or they don't the max amount of players. Dedicated servers aren't on yet, so it's all P2P. 

Yeah, 6/10.

Thats good, though i dont have an X1, i hope the game does well. Halo 2+3 were both my 2nd most played games for their respective generations. (ironically SSB is 1st for both as well :0
