You want to compare it to halo's 1 st week but the Japanese dont buy western games. take europe and american #'s compare it that way when Japan starts playing like the rest of the world with games created else where then all 3 territories will be equal! they probably never will they are smart buying Japanese products keeps thier economy strong!

Tell me some product's that costs as much as japanese product in japan and is as good as japanese one.

Burgers/fast food restaurants are only thing that comes to my mind.

Nothing's cheaper than something free.

If you look at previous SSB installments you will find out that it hardly sells 1m lifetime in Europe (SSB 0.65M, SSBM 1.14M). Halo 3's record is safe... until FFXIII ;P

For Others: Gamecube: 4.74 million
N64: 6. 75 million
Wii: 7.18 million (Still growing) The Wii actually has a good userbase this time and is going to be growing alot more by the time Brawl has it's PAL release...so it's a bit hard to call it out right now.

Yep, and Melee launched few weeks after Gamecube, in each region, had been launched in every region.

But still it will 50-50 if Brawl can outsell H3 in 1st week sales.

And how many of these Brawl's are heading to the Pal-region ?

Isn't Final Fantasy pretty much the same game with different characters though?

Are you joking? FF games share the same name. That's it. Different characters and different stories...none of which are related. Meaning if you disliked one FF game, doesn't mean you will dislike all of them. Unless you hate JRPG's...in which is a different issue.

X and X-2 ? (Direct sequel)

Tactics ? (Almost a "sequel") Final Fantasy Tactics Advance --> Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift (Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings is part of Ivalice Alliance, it is predecessor for them)

Crystal Chronicles ? Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates --> Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles --> (Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers)

Congrats to Nintendo. They are obviously making a lot of people happy. Thats the most important part. If you're going to own any two consoles, you may as well include a Wii in that!

Just one gripe, STOP comparing Brawl to Halo! Seriously... just feel pride if you will about the game and the company. Comparing yourself to others when you're obviously staying in first place, is just a sign of insecurity.

Tease.
