You do realize Wii Fit or Wii Play sold, both new IPs, both sold twice as much as Gears and MGS4 combined. Does that mean Gears and MGS4 performed poorly? On the PC for example Great Escapes Solitaire beats World of Warcraft, Half-Life 2, Crysis, Call of Duty, etc combined.

I didn't realize people "buy" Solitaire for their PC. Doesn't it come for free?
The Wii is an anomaly. We can't compare to it like that. I was not saying MGS4's sales were bad... I was saying that not selling more than an original IP on the competing HD console is kind of, well, not good. You'd think a highly acclaimed 4th entry would outsell a new unkown entry.... Wii Play and Wii Fit are completely different from the TPS games that are MGS4 and Gears.
