[THE BIG WEEKLY QUESTION] Game Of The Year

[Fez]

Halo 3 broke game sales records with 3mil+ purchases within the first week

I think it's made $300 million all in total throughout the saga and merchandise and stuff

Na, Halo 3 as a single game made the entire $300 million

I wish I worked in Bungie right now

They're all as well known as each other but not everyone likes Mario, not everyone likes Bioshock and not everyone likes Halo, but you can't expect over 3 million people to buy SSBB or Galaxy in the first week, a chance but I really doubt it since Halo 3 broke game sales records with 3mil+ purchases within the first week

No, they're not as well known as each other. Mario is more known than most world leaders. Pikachu is even more known than Halo. Halo 3 may be the fastest selling game (second fastest in the UK) but the Wii is the fastest selling console. Plus Halo 3 still has a damn long way to go to outsell Super Mario Bros. Which has sold 40 million+. Also if you take a look at the best-selling video games of all time list, you'll see that Nintendo are 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th before a game not made by Nintendo enters the list. Sure Halo 3 will probably win game of the year this year, which you keep telling me although I haven't once said it won't, but Nintendo have proven themselfs more than capable of winning game of the year with the amount of sales they get. That is the only point I am trying to get across! Nintendo can get game of the year just as much as any other games company.

Ok lets look at this,

Best selling Nintendo game of all time

Super Mario Bros. (40.23 million)

Yes that's pretty good but release date is 1985

Now 360

Halo 3 (5.2 million)

Release date, like..Just under 2 weeks ago?

PS3

Resistance: Fall of Man (2 million)

Not so great, released at PS3 launch, released November 14th 06 in US and March 24 in Europe

Ok so Super Mario bros is the best selling game but it's been out like 23 years, I'd say Halo 3 is doing very well, since Mario has had so many years to build itself up, so really what were you aiming for by talking about the best selling game, that doesn't prove anything because Halo 3 hasn't been out a month yet and Resistance has been out like a year and a few months

Lol, you do make me laugh. You still think they actually make Super Mario Bros? :rolleyes: Of course they don't, they probably stopped production after the SNES came out, which was 5 years later. It hasn't been on sale for 23 years. :rolleyes_ I bet you thought you had me then. It has had that spot for more than 20 years, it's not going anywhere soon.

Yes but this will probably include the VC one aswell, maybe the version of it released on the gameboy :rolleyes:

It's in the Guinness Book of World Record for having sold 40.23 million copies as of 1999 actually. :rolleyes: Which is the N64 era by the way. So it can't possibly include the VC ones. Also it will never include the gameboy sales because this is 'console sales' not 'handheld', It's under a totally different category altogether. It's called Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on gameboy anyway, so even that proves it isnt the gameboy sales aswell as it has a different name... Just face it, you're wrong.

Big deal, 40 million sales in 5 years yea fine but Halo 3 still made 5 million is less than 2 weeks, think about the sales that will have in 5 years time
Not to mention around that time it was really only Nintendo or Sega, and neither were really super expensive

[Neversoft]

Oh yeah, one of the first console, sure it wasn't expensive. :rolleyes: A game always sells the most in its first few weeks. You can't see how much it does in the first year then times it by 5. It doesn't work like that, sorry. :rolleyes_
