Forums - Sales - Why did Brawl get so many votes in this weeks poll?

remember this is only for the holiday season, so it pretty much has to be either Madden or Halo. Mario and Smash Bros might outsell them in the long run though.

Halo 3 no doubt will be the best selling game of all time on the Xbox 360 unless 4 comes out. Before the end of the year I expect Halo to sell around 4-7 million copy's which is a **** load of games. When Halo 2 was launched it quickly became the fastest selling game in history.

Madden will only sell in one region. Scratch that as the winner.

The question is:

"Which game is going to sell the most in America this holiday season?"

 

Obviously all the people voting Brawl didn't notice either the "in America" or the "this holiday season" parts of the poll question, and just blindly voted for the Nintendo option. But that's not a huge surprise for vgchartz.

Yep, definitely agree. I voted for Madden, simply because I wasn't sure when the "holiday season" begins. If it begins when Madden comes out... then I think it's extremely likely that Madden will win.

This is for during the holiday season. I voted for Brawl, because most of the Halo fans will not wait for the holiday season and already have it. IMO, sales during the Holiday season will not be that great for Halo even if it has higher sales for the year.

Which is why Halo 3 AND Madden are very unlikely choices to win. Seriously guys look at the information!

In chronological order of release....

  • Madden 08 - Aug 14th US Release
  • Halo 3 - Sept 25th US Release
  • Guitar Hero III - Oct 29th US Release
  • Rockband - November 6 US Release
  • Super Mario Galaxy - Nov 12th US Release
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Dec 3rd US Release

The Poll said "Which game is going to sell the most in America this holiday season?"

Meaning from black friday on. There is only one game that gets its launch week numbers into the holiday season and it is SSBB. This makes it the safest and most likely choice.

Edit: The definition of "Holiday Season" is pretty paramount here and it seems largely a matter of opinion.  But I figured I would share this link to wikipedia's take on the matter.

How do you figure?  Haolo 3 comes out a month and half prior to the holiday season, and Madden even sooner.  Smash bros is only a little over a week after the holiday season, assuming you start it at Thanksgiving.  So, you have to not count all the first+ month sales of Madden and Halo...  and peek sales are generally at launch, which Smash Bros will be release right during the holiday season.

 I know. I just want a link 'cuz it would make for a good laugh. 

I still think that my original choice, Smash Bros, has a chance depending on the timeframe - which nobody can agree on, seemingly.

Hmm, that's a valid point. Is late September part of the holiday season?

I think some may consider the "holiday season" to begin with the fall equinox (September 23), whereas others would say it begins the day after Thanksgiving (November 23).



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Because the forum is full of nintendo fanboys, that cant obviously see that halo 3 is going to sell more than brawl in the first day in its lifetime.

I Doubt Halo 3 in it's life time will do better than Brawl in it's life time. And who are you a Sony fanboy to call us nintendo fanboys. I like and have the Ps3 so I don't consider myself a nintendo only fanboy.


Im not callin you a fanboy, Im calling the people that voted for brawl fanboys, hey I hate microsoft and I voted for halo 3, if its pre orders are near 5 million already...what do you expect?


 I thought that the 5 million was a lie.
