SSBB will sell more than GTA IV and MGS4, because a) bigger userbase and b) I think there are more people who will buy Smash than GTA or Metal Gear as they are more hardcore type of games and Brawl may bring in the casuals, maybe some non-gamers. For the record I hate using those tags but had nothing better to use.

You're talking about GTAIV on ONE platform right? I agree. Combined sales? No chance. Brawl does NOT have the mass market casual appeal of GTA. It's more of a hardcore Nintendo franchise. It's going to sell really well...more than melee but not GTA level. In fact..GTa is the best selling franchise post 2000 era. 14 million average for each game on PS2 alone.

Also GTA is the most casual-friendly game ever. It's also a very popular among hardcore gamers.

MGSIV is totally different and won't go near Smash's sales.

It's ridicules to even think that MGS4 will sell more than SSBB. Don't get me wrong I loved and beat MGS, MGSTS, and MGS2 but they decrease in sales each game. The MGS games are more of movies then actual gameplay and with the new MGS4, I have no doubt in my mind that you will only play about 6 hours total.

you do realise there is so many people who are hyped for mgs4 who havent even played a metal gear game. and i dont where you got the idea that sales decrease each game but they dont youre wrong. mgs4 will be the best selling mgs game and brawl probably will outsell it because of wii's higher userbase but all that aside mgs4 will be a better game than brawl and if gta4 doesnt get game of the year mgs4 will

probably from here:

http://vgchartz.com/worldtotals.php?name=metal+gear+solid&console=&publisher=&sort=Total

you know, the numbers? The ones that show that the sales have decreased each game? Of course, MGS4 could reverse that trend, but you can't deny that the trend is there.

Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
