I find it ironic that Nintendo will spend millions of dollars to chase down pirates in 3rd world countries while Gamestop is costing them billions in revenue each year.
You have to figure that a single copy of Mario Galaxy can be sold 5-10 times and Nintendo obviously only makes money on the FIRST sale.
Some may argue that some of those people wouldn't have bought the game unless it was used anyway, but even if half of them would've bought new, that's still 2-5 sales Nintendo is missing out on.
"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
