| Naum said: No I think most so called "hardcore" gamers who's going to buy GTAIV already own a PS3 or a Xbox360 Even if they dont they are no match for the so called "casual" gamers |
It just so happens that GTA is one of the most casual franchises in the game industry. There are a lot of PS2 owners that only have GTA and Madden.
Wii could easily be on top next week. Nintendo will have lots of Wii's to go with Mario Kart (the sunday ads mentioned "more Wii's than ever") and that's exactly their strategy. They will want to make sure to be the highest selling system in the month where the competitors receive their biggest game of this gen.
For us it's more interesting to see which HD console benefits most from GTA, but Nintendo sends out a strong signal to developers and publishers if it will outsell the HD consoles next week and the month after.
