Wow this thread took off =P Perhaps indicative of the anticipation for GTA IV? Perhaps.
Anyways, I wanted to address the idea that this will somehow take sales away from the Wii. While I think there will definitely be some folks who opt to use their cash at that time on the PS3 or 360 and GTA IV I don't know if I believe that those who might of considered a Wii aren't going to come back to it later.
But also I have to question how much of a demographic overlap there is in the first place. How many people are really having a hard time choosing between Wii Sports and GTA IV? It seems to me when considering that choice if you answer "no" to one of the two questions below you go for Wii Sports and otherwise you go for GTA IV.
Question 1: "Do you know what GTA IV is?" - Yes or No
Question 2: "Do like GTA games?" - Yes or No
So while I have absolutely zero doubt about its ability to push 360 and PS3 hardware I have to seriously doubt its ability to diminish Wii hardware sales, particularly if they are still selling out at the time which is possible but I am not entirely convinced will be the case (yes I know that is blasphemy to some of you).
