Sales and quality aren't connected. I'd bet Brawl is phenomenal.. but so was Galaxy.

"Sales and quality aren't connected."

What? I assume you mean aren't perfectly correlated, as some good games garnish crappy sales (Z&W and NMH come to mind). But to suggest that good games NEVER sell well is kind of silly. Of course sales and quality are connected.

Where did you get the idea that I suggested good games never sell well? I just said sales and quality aren't connected because Galaxy didn't do so well in Japan and it's an amazing game. Often an excellent game will go unnoticed because it didn't get proper advertising, or some other tiny issue. I was addressing the point KidSqueek made, assuming Brawl is a perfect game because it's selling. Talk about putting words into my mouth.

Is English your second language? If so I can give you a pass here. The words you used, "Sales and quality aren't connected", suggests that, um, sales and quality aren't connected. That would mean that there's no correlation between the two or there's an inverse relationship. If that were true, "good games never sell well" is a constrained conclusion, or that there is no basis with which to make a link between the two. It was just an odd choice of words. How about: "sales don't guarantee quality" or "quality doesn't always garnish sales"? Speaking to Galaxy, it's quickly approaching Halo-3-level sales, so it's not like it isn't getting recognized.

Halo fanboys will always find a way to twist the numbers in their favor. I like to pay attention to the lifespan of a game instead of sales from the first week. Not everybody buys a game the day it's released, even if they are interested. And Mario Galaxy has legs. It's sold over 5 and a half million since launch because people are buying it consistently, closing the gap on Halo 3's current 7.2 million. I'm willing to bet Brawl will have legs too and outsell both, even if it doesn't outdo Halo 3 on release day.

What would I do without vgchartz.com? :)

You would have figures pulled out of your own ass rather than someone elses?

You're taking this the wrong way, Hame. The Galaxy comparison is only there to underline just how amazing Brawl sales have been.

Well, what other game is he going to compare it to? Wii Fit? OK, sure thing, he has that there, but what else? What other major first-party releases are the sales worthy of being compared to here? Hmm ...

How do you get him trashing Galaxy from all of this, though? Seriously?

I'm sorry Chris and David, I'm not having a go at you. I've just noticed that in every single article about sales of both Wii Fit and Brawl you keep mentioning how much more they've sold than Galaxy, insinuating that Galaxy was a flop in comparison, which I don't really think is necessary.

imagine if master chief was in Brawl?? lol... sorry for the stupid comment... i'll shut up and cry now...

4 messages, all spamming. Good job Mark, glad to have you aboard :[

was that a joke?

i was just this morning at my local EB and saw FFXII for $38 it wasnt even a pre-owned copy!!!

i dont doubt FFXII was a hit in japan but the fun ended at FFX...that was the last game i bought from the FF franchise (i did pick up KH2 though)

to be honest playstation is doing a sega on us...i wouldnt be surprised if next generation theyre down to making third party games for xbox. the only reason sony havnt gone under yet is because the PS2 still has some legs left in it. the PS3 = a PS2 on blu-roids.

adam you are just a grumpy fanbofor sony stock is stronger than microsoft and note what you just FFXII got a 10 out of 10 in famitsu so you go check the records if you wanna i feeel that only nintendo can go making third party games for xbox or the ps3
