What happens when you launch a halo sized casual missle (SSBB) on the market in combination with an incredibly powerful non-gaming warhead (WiiFit)?

Nuculear devestation on the market... the same kind of devestation that crippled the PSP when Nintendogs and NSMB were released for the DS.

Not only will WiiFit bring in the non-gamers in droves... but SSBB will bring millions of core gamers to the Wii... the kind of gamers that buy lots of games.

The Wii is anhilating the competion as it is... but this will be the nuke that ends the war.

Why is it that lvl 8 and lower guys always make these kind of threads? Y'know with poor analogies and little to no evidence.

SSBM sold 6 million on the GC... the Wii will have a much larger user base when all is said and done, and SSBB looks to be a lot more of a game with online and hugely popular cross platform characters like Snake and Sonic. It will easily sell 10 million.

Hardly. Wii Fit is casual crap and Brawl isn't anywhere near the greatness of the dozens of good games on all the systems. Also Nintendogs didn't cripple the PSP at all.

Brawl can be as good as any of the other games on other consoles.

But overall yeah i disagree with TC, SSBB/Wii Fit will sell well, no doubt about it -- but not to the point of crippling PS3/360 software sales.

Nintendogs was the first nail in the PSP coffin. Pokemon was the last one.

What a turn of events this generation has brought....

We have the sheep focusing solely on sales, and less on the fact that they have the least AAA games of any console this gen,

The Cows have become this generations Lemmings and care about nothing but "teh graphics" and the games be darned,

And the Lemmings are saying "nuts" to sales games are all that matter?

I don't care if the Wii sells 100 million consoles and what games the casuals are playing, the bottom line is that right now its nothing more then the console I played Zelda on, and then it became a "party machine" till Metroid, and then again a Party Machine, till Galaxy and now in 2008 till Brawl a Party Machine.

Wii is very successful because its just the latest "Trivial Pursuit" type item that people buy to take out of closets when guests come over.

As I have always said, shareholders care about units sold, gamers care about games.

To those doubting ssbb sales, it outsold Halo ce sales and Halo 2 only sold 2 million more. The Wii has sold more than the 360 so it is very much possible it will outsell Halo 3

blitzkid1

lol are you serious, let's remember that the wii has a greater userbase than the 360 and even the percentage of the wii owners that will buy SSBB may be be less than the percentage of people who own a 360 and halo 3, still the greater user base will make that SSBB sales not only touch the halo 3 sales, they will touch them, slapped them, kick them, laugh at them and send them a congratulations letter at their birthday.

You're right. SSBB will sell so much it won't touch Halo 3's pathetic sales in comparison.

SHeep weren't big on sales until the DS and Wii started dominating in that department.

SSBB might hurt a bit, but Wiifit won't really affect gamers because it will be bought mostly by middle-aged women that think it'll revolutionize their life. Regardless, it won't "cripple" the PS3 or 360.

Galaxy has sold 4 1/2 million copies already and so has Twilight Princess(even though it's multiplatform). When all is said and done Galaxy will probably have outsold Halo 3. Bear in mind that people are still stuggling to find Wii's
