You have the gall to accuse me of ignoring your arguments and then miss what I stated several pages back already...
The problem just is that we are more or less saying the same but you want to tell me that I am saying something totally out of the world
And Sony also has those meaningful well-known franchises, plenty of them, just none that match Mario or Pokemon in terms of sales. What I'm saying for the umpteenth time is that it doesn't matter. The measure of BR's success isn't that it beats SSBB in sales but that it returns a profit and creates awareness for all the franchises that appear in the game while enabling a new generation to discover the more obscure ones. Right now, God of War, Uncharted and LittleBigPlanet, Jak & Daxter and Rachet & Clank have created more than enough recognition to ably sell a game like BR. Who gives a shit if Sony doesn't have their own Mario, that's irrelevant and a pointless comparison to make.
If you do not want to talk about the game's commercial success compared to SSBB, then you shouldn't have replied in the first place. I already mentioned the reasons why, and told you, if you do not want to talk about this topic just get out. You seem to be a bit ignorant as that is a point that I can discuss, why shouldn't I?
I don't like the opinions that are repeated over and over again and then just as easily dismissed and proven wrong. Battle Royale doesn't have a character approaching the level of awareness that Mario does... doesn't matter. Simple as that.
If you do not have the abilities to understand why comparing the sales of SSBB and ASBR and why the popularity of the franchises included in these titles make sense, then you probably never learnt why comparisons make sense.
So if you do not want to read my post again, I'll sum it up:
1. The commercial success of this game heavily depends on the characters and franchises featured in it. Sony does not have franchises that are as widely known as Mario or Pokemon, which - in my opinion - were a key to the success of the original SSB. To make this clear, I never said that Sony does not have well-know franchises.
2. A comparison between the two titles is absolutely valid due to their many similarities.
3. Sales are a means to measure the commercial success of a game
4. Based on 1. I expect the sales of ASBR to be lower than the sales of SSB, which does not mean that this game should not exist.
5. Based on all this, I can make comparisons between the sales and my expectations for sales of ASBR in this thread, while also giving reasoning for these expectations which I did in the beginning.
See, don't we agree on this?
