May 2013 is down nearly 1,000,000 units from May 2008...

GTA IV launched at the end of April 2008 and so did Mario Kart Wii in the U.S.....Wii sales were up over 300% in the first week: http://www.vgchartz.com/weekly/39572/USA/ Really not a good comparison. And look at May 2000, way lower than this year.

GTAIV didn't do anything for X360 / PS3 hw sales, they were both mediocre to bad until 2009. April 2008 was four consoles selling better than X360 sold this month (yes, including PS2)
