A game on DS, that's like calling Mario and Sonic a bigger franchise than God of War.


yes, it sold better, but is it a better game? Will it move consoles (a different console, nevertheless) and most importantly, will it get the hype it needed?

Well it has an average score in the high 80s in gamerankings. Not too far from God of War which is low 90s. The franchise will get hyped by casual and hardcore fans alike, and will move many consoles.

You people are fool man, if you look at the sales data you will clearly see that he only animal crossing that sold well is the one on ds.

But any old game with funny looking cute pink animals will sell in the millions on the ds.

So i will go for GOW because i think that this game will sell well not matter what console it comes out on.

Can you say the same for animal crossing



mesoteto on 24 June 2008

^think of the Sims on steroids and you will get the level of sales for AC

that's the difference between comparing an AA game with an AAA game. no different than comparing Gears of War with Resistence.


Game sold well... on DS, Will it sell as well on a home console?
