I thought I was being nice. :(... although I must apologize as your insisting on comparing two completely different genre games kinda annoyed me. Because this will lead to nothing but flames from fanboys.

Yeah, ioi did say that, but he was wrong, at least according various other reports.



Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

And I was all surprised and everything because of that!

Well, at least that still gives Brawl a fighting chance at taking down Halo 3's 1st week sales. Japan's .5 mil will help it. Also, the amount of delays NoE are giving for the game will raise hype in Europe.



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

Well, what in the world happened when ioi came and told us that Brawl struck 1.25 mil on 1st day?

 It was an estimate and he included other countries like Canada. Nintendo is just talking about North America.

September 21, 2007 360 had an install base of 11,737,781 just before Halo 3 was released worldwide...

Wii had an install base of 20,623,956 on the January 25, 2008 just before Brawl was released in Japan...

If you look at percentage of install base who purchased Brawl vs. Halo 3, Brawl loses... It is difficult to compare raw sales between two different time periods with two very different install bases as apples-to-apples. But, I feel both are selling very well.

 Well, I thought so too, but then when the final number comes out showing 1.4 million, I know the first estimation of 1.2 million first day was too much.

 

I don't think it will take down Halo at all. In fact, delay launch in different regions not only kills hypes, it also force hardcore fans to mod their wii just so they can play brawl from other region. Personally I think it's doing more harm to a game to have delays.

thats first week, not day.

Common who the hell cares wich sold more ? Both did great , and even if Brawl wont beat the first week record it will probably sell more during its lifetime , so who cares ?
