Sales - Wii Fit vs GTA IV - View Post

GTA IV gets many of its sales once it goes Platinum, so we all have to wait and see. San Andreas sold almost 20 million so IV should do more than that due to market expansion. It will be interesting what happens with Wii Fit after this holiday season, if people will still want it.

Present tense?

Also doesn't platinum mean selling 1 million?.... generally (always) a game that sells more than 2 million has most of it's sales after it goes platinum.

Is platinum in this sense meaning a price cut? If so then we will have to wait to see if that comes true.... Even San Andreas did not in fact get most of it's sales after a price cut, it sold over 12 million before getting a price cut (PS2 version) and since then is between 5 and 6 million, so 1/3rd of it's sales.

So it remains to be seen if this holds true, especially considering San Andreas was accepted by gamers more as a brilliant game unlike GTAIV which people seem to have many complaints about, perhaps that will affect it's legs.
