Fuck Halo 3, Ill get Battalion Wars 2 even if I DO have a 360 at that point ;-;

As long as it hasn't become shite since they mentioned it last, over 6 months ago. Smilie

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

I wouldn't buy Battalion Wars 2 even if it was the only game released for weeks. Not worth the $50 to me.

However, if I somehow manage to get hold of an Xbox 360, I'll definately consider Halo 3. It'd depend on how much money I have and whatever else I need to get.

I doubt I'll have a 360 by that time though...dang it.

As for the market as a whole, I think Dr. R pegged it.

...it's being released then to stop some Wii owners selling up and jumping ship to the 360 and Nintendo are willing to sacrafice some sales of BWII to that end, in a way they aren't with a title like Metroid or Mario Galaxy.

Mike Gee of iZINE said, "...The Verve, as he [Richard Ashcroft] promised, had become the greatest band in the world. Most of the critics agreed with him. Most paid due homage. The Verve were no longer the question mark or the clich�. They were the statement and the definition."

Enoch Powell was right, and you know it.

Smilie awsome... i think Nintey know that BWii will not outsell Halo3 but i think they are tryind to send out a message to Microsoft Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!! Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

Not sure if it was intentional but this is a masterstroke from Nintendo. I believe they know that BWii won't stand up against Halo3 sales wise but by releasing it on the same day Nintendo have already started generating word of mouth for a product that was all but forgotten on the Wii and went almost unnoticed on the Cube.

Look at Killzone on the PS2, in every aspect it was a shit game, bad animation, tired gameplay, etc. The game wuld have bombed if it wasn't for the fact that magazines started to hype it up as Sony's Halo killer. While no one really expects BWii to outsell Halo, by mentioning it Nintendo are bringing attention to the game and quite likely increasing its sales.
