it doesn't matter when a game launches, if its a god game it will sell. May not be big to start with but a good game has legs.

it does. ill list Killzone 3 and bulletstrom for example. they launched on the same day, bulletstrom on the 360 sold okay, but on the PS3? it flopped hard, really hard, just a few dozen thousand. Killzone3 just destroyed it. now imagine a game going up against GTA5. trust me, it matters

The target audience for both Wonderful 101 & Grand Theft Auto V are just a taaaad different. It's not like GTA is on the Wii U either, so people looking to pick up a game on their Wii U won't be considering GTA as a potential purchase. I'm not suggesting W101 is going to be a massive hit, but the demographics are different enough to make their close launches seem less significant. Personally, I won't be picking up GTA and will be getting W101 instead.

im not saying the target audience for W101 and GTA are the same. but when GTA releases all the media attention and hype will be drawn towards it and over shadowing the W101.everybody will be talking about GTA, the press, the websites the gamers, pretty much everybody. and for those looking to buy a new cosnole and then find out that GTA5 is not on the WiiU wont help either. people who might have considered buying a WiiU might put that idea on hold because they will be too busy with GTA5.  one of the games goals is to push hardware sales, and nintendo certainly needs it too specially at this stage of the consoles life, but putting it 2 days away from GTA5 pretty much kills that. also rayman, a game that has a very different target audience like W101 changed its release date, because GTA will just dominate the sales in that period
