I m really curious what this game will do for Gamecube. Will it sell more than Smash bros???

You mean whether it'll sell over a million copies? I don't know... As good as GC Biohazard might turn out to be, it doesn't have that universal (i.e.: family) appeal that Super Smash Bros. DX had. Then again, Japanese gamers can't seem to have enough of Biohazard series/spin offs (impressive sales of Onimusha, DMC, & Onimusha 2, and the fact GC Biohazard being constantly ranked at top 5 most wanted game chart is the proof). But PS2 has much larger userbase than GC... But then again, with the new prospects of Square games coming out for GC might boost the hardware sales to a comfortable point(obviously nowhere close to PS2's but lot better than any other's) enough to make it possible...

Anyway, I'm guessing it'll probably do 500k easy, but I'd be surprised it goes over a million mark in Japan alone.
