[QUOTE="GnR-SLaSh"]Its true but really, why do sales matter when you're playing the game anyway?!Fireball2500
Because lems are getting owned in every single field expect for online. They know it.

But sheep are getting owned in everything but sales, and Cows for Blu-ray.

M$ spent so much on the budget for the game and the advertising (LOLSODA) that brawl is killing it profit wise. Brawl will also have sold more units within the lifespan of both games.

The damage control is strong in this one.

Just Admit it, Halo sales >>ssbb sales. Halo 3 sold more in one day in the US that Brawl in one week in USA and Japan :|

Meu2k7

I never expected Brawl to surpass Halo 3's day one sales. It would simply be impossible for any game, except for Halo 4.

But you do have to admit that this is great for Nintendo and will really help push out more console sales.

What about Grand Theft Auto IV and Gears of War 2?

Or burning crusade!, which did!

Honestly?

i know nintendo games sell well over time im just saying that past games in the Halo series have outsold past smash bros games so i doubt it will sell more than it but then again the wiis userbase is growing alot faster than gamecube so it probaly has a chance with 360 sales on the decline

anyways GTA 4 next month will own both as said before

well, SSBB has sold somewhat close to half of what Halo 3 sold already, and it hasnt even been released in europe yet.

halo has been out for months, so its sales are stale. SSBB just came out, so its sales are fresh and plenty (plus as some people mentioned, Nintendo games seem to have legs, they will keep selling well for a little while)

you dont need a crystal ball to just look at these numbers and figure something out

"Only sheep play sales." :roll:metroidfood

it's not lemmings though, it's only the Halo fanboys, I'm a lemming and I hate H3 with a passion, one of the most overrated games I've ever played.

I was right and the hermits were wrong.

Halo 3 sold more in one day in America (2.4 million) than SSBB sold in one week in America and Japan combined (2.2 million)

Halo 3 also sold 2.8 million in its first week alone in America.

All hail the king of sales, Halo 3.

jbz7890

All right, let's get this out of the way. I like halo 3 more. But you can't play sales because there are too many halo fanboys. I've never heard of a Smash Bros fanboy. Just my opinion.

SSBM outsold Halo 1, and rivaled Halo 2, so I wouldn't exactly say it's a done deal. That was on the GC, SSBB is on the Wii, with a larger fanbase then the GC already, by the end of the generation, it's very possibly it'll have outsold Halo 3.

Why do sheep always play sales?

Only sheep play sales!

Sales don't equal good games!

We go by games here, not sales!

I thought only sheep used sales talk as ownage? Or are you setting a double standard here? :|

Anyways, they're both fantastic games. Both 9.5's. Let's just enjoy them, yeah?

Keep in mind that unlike Halo 3, SSBB will continue to sell for the rest of the Wii's lifetime. Just look at some of the DS's highest selling games. They sold okay first week, but eventually built up into the millions. I'm sure that's what SSBB will be doing as well. I'm not sure mysef as of which will sell more by the end of both's lifespans, but it's definitely way too early to begin calling a winner.

I haven't played it yet but I bet SSBB is a better game with ALOT more replayability than Halo 3. Halo 3 is a trash FPS. Would have scored about a 7.5 or so on PC.

Well, Crysis is the first game in a quite unfamiliar series whereas Halo 3 is the final game in a tremendously popular series. It shouldn't stagger you.

I just love how everyone thought SSBB would outsell Halo 3. I knew that would be impossible because Halo 3 was the most anticipated game of all time.jbz7890

Here's the thing with Halo 3, it sells great fr up to maybe a year and then there is a huge drop off while SSBB sells pretty well throught the whole cycle of the console. Just this is what happened between Melee and Halo 2. So I would be suprised if at the end of the consoles' lifecycle, Halo3 is still outselling SSBB

Ummm... No one (except for the really big fanboys) said that Brawl would sell faster than Halo. However, at the end of the gen, Brawl will have sold more copies then Halo. I can almost guarentee that.

Are you kidding me? Fine, let's forget about Halo 3. Do you remember Halo 2? World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade couldn't even outdone that video game. What makes you think that it won against Halo 3, which is more prosperous?
