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

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.


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).


 

Retailers consider Black Friday the official start of the Christmas holiday shopping season.

Ok

The question on the poll is bad, should be more specific.



This is what i said so you people can stop talking BS:

Resistance is owned by about 2million ps3 owners meaning 50% of owners own it
I expect those resistance owners to buy killzone 2, and if the game is a huge succes much like halo was for xbox, I expect 60-70% of ps3 owners to have the game in 2008(not 90%)

I did say heavenly sword will outsell metroid prime 3 in the first 4 weeks, I even have a bet on with Carlos.

I said mario galaxy but quickly denied it.

Super smash bros sold 6.58 million vs halo 2 near 9 million

Different scenarios:

Sep-Oct-Nov-Dec - America: Madden
Sep-Oct-Nov-Dec - Worldwide: Still Madden, likely, though Halo will give it a good run
Nov-Dec - America/WW: Probably Galaxy, though GH3 will do well in this period
Post-Thanksgiving - America/WW: Brawl

I'm not really sure why Rock Band is on the list.

Melee came out at launch with no established user base. Halo 2 came out towards the end of the Xbox's life.

 Not a chance, but better than 90%.

I hope you didn't bet too much.

Well, that's good.

Closer to 8m, actually. And that was on consoles with roughly equal install bases, at mostly equal pricing. 


 



i disagree with the poll.. there isnt a single PS3 game on that list. Warhawk is going to sell well, just like Ratchet and Uncharted.

Dna, as much as I'd love brawl to sell the most (actually galaxy for me), I'm from the Uk and even I know that Madden NFL 08 will trash it because americans love it and its multi-platform. I voted Madden myself.

Btw congrats on your 1st thread, and a good contribution to the forums =)

I voted for Madden, and assumed that the poll is for NA/US only. Cross-platform will easily win.

Otherwise Pokemon has already won - 10m+ sales, and Xmas hasn't even got close (although a lot of those were from Japan from last Xmas).

I see Madden 08 selling the most.



I voted for Madden as well. However, if I was going to pick a Wii game I would have picked Galaxy not Brawl (despite me looking forward to Brawl more)
