Hrmm... I understand the 360 upset was pretty damn surprising, but there's something about 2008 that easily shifts it to Nintendo's favor, IMO.

Wii Fit and Mario Kart Wii.

Seriously, did anyone expect these games to sell like they are? It's insane - we've accepted it now, but that's because it's old news.


As for games, I only got a 360 recently, but all consoles are about even for me. The Wii is my main, but there's many great HD games I haven't got to play yet...

*Looks at prediction in sig created the day after WiiFit was announced*

*Looks at sales of every mario kart to date*

Yes, some people expected it.  Seriously, did anyone not expect these games to sell like they are?

Also, hilarious blast from the past: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=10632

EDIT:  Also, a great (accurate) prediction by Game_boy: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=25335

Okay, I'll concede on Wii Fit. It was already out in Japan anyway, that probably helped a bit...

Still, I know the majority of people didn't think Mario Kart Wii could be near 12m at the end of 08. It's on the verge of outselling GTAIV within the year. Just take a look at this thread: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=23558
