still the fact remains the low number of san andreas games out there vs wii sports puts it at a big dissadvantage. Since there are like 2.5 times the number of Wii sports out there the time played for san andreas has to be 2.5 times higher to EQUAL wii sports.

And i still think your overestimating the average person. San Andrea is such a casual person bought game tha tyou ahve to consider the amount of peopel that can't beat the missions and just screw aroudn a bit. And that will get bored after a while.

I have younger cousins and they ll can't beat the missions, and they say the sameabout their friends. All they do is steal a car and run from cops for a while.

I agreed that it is entirely possible that Wii Sports still has a higher total number of hours.  I just thought his assertion that most people only played GTA for 5-10 hours was way off the mark.

You also have to consider that your average wii owner connected to the internet probably plays more than those who aren't.

while this may be true for games like smash and other hardcore games I would think it is the opposite for Wiisports.

How many times do you hear people say no games are gonna sell on the Wii because they just buy it for wiisports and don't buy antyhing else.  I feel that the soccer mom's, grandmas, little 12 and under kids or whoever else is stereotyped with the Wii are the ones that ARE NOT using the nintendo channel and having their games data sent to nintendo.

 

So I feel the average time could potentially be much higher for Wiisports.  And Brawl I would suspect is lower.  Brawl is a hardcore game and thus we seeing all the hardcore times vs the average person hwo has the game and probably has way less than 65 hours on it.
