So much for Gran Turismo being the king of racers!

(Sales wise of course.)



It's just that simple.

Well it does say "wii" in the game's name. It looks like something that's needed to make a wii game sale a hell of a lot.

It proves the Wii truly deserves the dominance it has. Why release 10 hardcore games which sell 2M at most each when you can release one Mario Kart and sell 20M!

I'd actually rather have MORE games to play, then be happy if HEAVY RAIN were to sell 20 mill or not. But that's another thread. It's good for the game either way.

Less is more?



Tease.

It lost that title (saleswise) a while ago. You're a tad late.

I haven't been keeping track. I got over 100+ 360 games to play lol.

How much is "A Hell of a lot"

Because 20 million isn't a fair bar

I agree completely. That's why I'm opposed to over-engineered graphics. Just imagine, you could play three different takes on the concept of Heavy Rain in SD instead of just a single game with attention to detail that's far down the curve of diminishing returns.

What's unfair about it? That only Nintendo titles can reach it?



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

I agree too. With the Wii I have MORE games that I can play with people I know.

Fixed. Anything is possible.

Maybe someday. Not today or any near future that I can see.

That's different. Saying that Nintendo titles are the only titles that "can reach it", is another matter. Not underminig Nintendo's success, but I just know that anything is possible.

Many people thought the original PlayStation would flop. How wrong they were. Many people thought the Xbox 3660 wasn't going to do much this gen. The results in 2010 speak otherwise.

Anything is possible.

 

It's possible I could win the Lotto tomorrow. I wouldn't pin my hopes on it though.
