My favourite parts were when Mario Kart outsold the GTAs and then NSMB Wii creamed MW2, now Pokemon crushes Halo and we get to see Donkey Kong smash Gran Whatsitsname to pieces and Nintendo didn't even have to use Miis.

It's a good job Nintendo is being so lazy.

Just so you know. Modern Warfare 2 sold over 20 Million units in June.

And Donkey Kong. lol. I really can't wait to see the sales of that

As for Nintendo being lazy. Not true. Look at the support the Wii has had for the past 10 Months from them.

Oh Carl.

Ok if we're going to play silly beggars, MW2 has had close to a year on PS3 and a similar amount of time on 360 to sell ::). Lets see where NSMB Wii is after 2 years compared with MW2.

As for what Nintendo has delivered in the last 10 months, they beat the highest rated metawotsit with it's own sequel. I'm talking about Legend of Mario: Starlight Princess 2 (aka Galaxy). So even by metadarling standards they delivered, no? Is it still selling more a week than Red Dead Redemption?

Onto Donkey Kong... you kids today really need to learn some respect, hehe. You've seen what good old fashioned arcade gaming has done to the Playstory generation games. The Kart destroyed the GTAs, even the arcade multiplayer on MW2 combined with a total userbase of around 2 billion? (including PC) is already faltering to little old new super Mario.

Are you seriously suggesting that the Great Gorilla himself won't pound that pathetic racing sim (not really a game) into the ground? If so, then that's betting talk. First 10 weeks? Gotta give Wii games a chance for legs, they don't sell on hype and screenshots alone.

Oh Pyro As Bill.....do you really read what your posting lawlawl!

1. Yes they did, but apart from that whats been there? Even Nintendo fans keep saying the Wii's "low" sales are expected because of no good software release......go see in every "SALES UP" thread....you will see that statement being said

2. Right gramps.....DKC is in my top 10 games of all time and I DO want it to do well.....but it is no NSMB Wii.....the DK series hasn't ever sold like Mario did in its hey day. And DK is no Mario Kart type game that can become caught in the mass market revolution. Donkey Kong COuntry is unlikely too outsell GT5

3. Yes I am suggesting that. The Great Gorilla will founder against the GREAT GRAN TURISMO! See GT franchise sales.....now THERE'S a proven massive seller of a franchise. And GT5 isn't gonna sell on hype and screenshots.....the amount of content in the game is staggering.
