Easy there... You think Rockstar cares about defeating Wii?

*T2 looks up the chats*
GTAIV sold 1.3 million on a console with under 5 million installbase. While MarioKart sold 1.2 million on a console with over 11 million installbase.

You think T2 will say "Oh damnit, we failed"????

Nintendo purposefully held back consoles last week. I don't remember anybody saying last week that PS360 defeated Wii in US.. why should there be a difference this week?

 

I mean hardware, both of the console doesn't sell so well compare to Wii....

Remember what did the PR of both Sony & M$ said, they were preparing for GTA IV... and now what?

They were creating more console, so they should sell more....

They have lower user base, it means that they have more opportunity to be purchased... they should sell more..

T2 shouldn't care it, Sony & M$ should...

You know what, I really think that people grap a Wii when they bought GTA IV, look at the attachment rate of SMG and SSBB.......

When are we going to stop judging Wii's hardware sales as if it's some kind of consumer buying trend? I remember last week it was at 69K in NA and behind BOTH PS3 and 360, I don't remember anybody saying it was doomed? Wii will sell, at that price-point, almost as many as they can ship. The fact Nintendo shipped that many is no coincident. They wanted to push Mario Kart Wii, sell hardware AND kill off hypes of GTAIV.

 

So far.. they are only 1/3.

Mario Kart got WHIPPED by both GTAIV versions. (lost)
Wii sold as many as they can ship (won)
GTAIV hype is bigger than ever (lost)

 

Next week, you will probably see Wii back to their bi-monthly low, while PS360 will be around over 100K again.

 

I am not bashing Wii......I am bashing Sony & M$, M'kay? Because of what? Because they don't put their effort enough...stockpiling for GTA IV was just bullshit.....

& I've talked about the business model also + Recession + some stupid Box office & Gaming sales theory

Nintendo reverse the market, what should Sony & M$ do to cover back the market again?

If Wii continue to win the war, we are going to have more Mario xxx games again and other Never ending franchise, plus more stupid Game Party like game http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=25852&start=0 , they should be equivalent in the market, and it will create competition for making better games.

 

p/s: where is Project HAMMER? If they realease it earlier, maybe we will have it in SSBB
