Is the gaming industry failing by lackluster sales?

Super mario bros was bundled with the NES, the only fair comparison is Wii Sports - this gen wins
SMB3 will inevitably be outsold by NSMB:Wii - give it time and this gen will win again
We have no idea what GT5 will sell, many people on this website predict it will sell more than 10 million
You are comparing PS sales only for GTA, which is obviously stupid because the 360 version sold incredibly
What is your comparison for MW2? Because its already sold a shit load more than the PS2/xbox/gc games

 

 

This.

 

You are cherry picking. GTA4 did 14 million on 2 HD systems, MW2 is closing in on 18 million on consoles alone, and it might even be at 20 with PC sales.

Only a select few games reach those sales. Most games in general don't sell as good.
