Spoken like a true fanboy.


Spoken like someone who wants to get into personal attacks instead of using facts and logic.


Facts and logic? Look who's talking you claim to say that mario kart and mario galaxy and smash bros would outsell most of those games without any proof.

edit: sure nintendo has a bigger install base, but dam I think I was wrong. I hate it when Im wrong, carlos you are correct, I wont take the bet since chances are it will outsell heavenly sword since mario is easily the bigger franchise.

Bro, lmao!! I bet mario galaxy wont outsell heavenly sword are you willing to bet?


Leo, it's on. You will be eating crow very shortly. I'm putting it in my signature so that no one will forget. Hell, I'll even say Mario Galaxy outsells Heavenly Sword's lifetime sales within 1 month of it's release.


I SAID IM NOT BETTING!!!!!!!! I said if your willing butnever said I was willing to bet :P I Wasnt thinking when I said that.


I know, and i know is not a fair bet :)

How about metroid prime 3 vs Heavenly sword ? 

I choose your avatar for 1 month if you lose and you chose my avatar for 1 month if i lose.. thats easier than having to drop your nick and make a new account.

Im willing to bet on that for sure.

Heavenly sword will out sell metroid prime 3 in North america and Europe.

I would like to make it the winner choose the avatar of the loser for a couple of weeks, but since GT 5 won't be released in a long time i think he was just trying to look like a confident sony fan.

Worldwide sales in the first 4 weeks after the game was released.

The winner choose the avatar of the loser and the loser will have to use that avatar for 2 weeks or 1 month or whatever.

Going by History of GT versus Mario Galaxy:
Gran Turismo Prologue doesn't have a chance historically.

GT5 should sell 9 million. Well, that's on 100 million odd consoles, and sales went down between 3 (14 million, phenominal) and 4 (8 million... well, phenominal, but 6 million loss). So, about 1/8-1/13 owners will get it.

If it is a spiritual successor to Mario 64(11 million), we should expect 1/4 Wii owners getting it. Make it 1/6 to account for those who bought a Wii for Sports, fitness, and whatever. If it is a spiritual successor to Sunshine(5 million), about 1/6 Wii owners will get it, make it 1/8 for the same.

This is based on rough calculations without double checking or using exact figures, but according to previous console sales versus attach rates, Mario has the advantage here.



See Ya George.

Carlos was being rude with his post, but I would be willing to take you up on a wager for it. I'll throw it in my sig for the hell of it.

"Wager vs. leo-j: Super Mario Galaxy will outsell Heavenly Sword"

You game? I'm genuinely interested in how both will fare.

 

EDIT: Read more of the thread, hm.  Galaxy and Brawl I am confident would beat Heavenly Sword, Metroid Prime will be FAR closer.  If you'd prefer not to wager Galaxy or Brawl but would do so for Prime, I'm up for it if you are.

I would never bet on a Nintendo game like Mario Galaxy to lose in sales terms against any game. Nintendo always has the best selling games (Gamecube had an install base of 20 million and some of its games sold in the 6 millions). I think thats mainly because Nintendo consoles are just used for gaming while 360's and PS3's can be used for other purposes.
