Why does R&C have anyting to do with SMG selling poorly? With those numbers you would think that it was a PS3 title! Seriously, why mention R&C? I think this proves that the Wii is more of a casual console in markets outside the US.

It has about as much to do as Brain Training, COD4 or AC does. The OP is about the UK market, which includes R&C. Even though the title says SMG, this thread is about UK sales. You're the one making the connection to SMG, not me. Read the original post, it is not specifically about SMG.

Well knowing That R&C was never mentioned in ioi's posts you decided to mention the R&C numbers out of nowhere, maybe to throw off the discussion of low sales in SMG's first week. Did anyone ask for those numbers of R&C? Besides you, no one else asked for them.

I didn't see you complaining in any of the other threads not about SMG where SMG sales were mentioned. If you want, I can make a seperate thread about UK R&C sales, would that make you happier?

That would make more sense. It makes more sense than mentioning it out nowhere in a thread about how poor SMG has sold compared to expectations.

You know what would make me happy? Having someone admit that the lack of success for Nintendo's first party games without the words "Party" or "Wii" will classify it as nothing more than a "casual console." The sad thing about this, is that "Wii" fit will back up this argument. I'm not saying that everyone who has a Wii is a casual gamer, i'm saying most of them are. Japan proves this, and Europe will soon. Just my opinion however, and I will get a lot of backlash for this. Oh well......
