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.

 

So, GTAIV escapes total humiliation by beating MKWii's opening week, and now your bragging about it?

What if the data was off slighly and MKWii beat the PS3 version of GTA? Does that mean sony lost?

Also, since the Wii can sell as many units as it can ship and Sony or MS can't, the Wii certainly won. So, who lost on that one? Sony and Microsoft?

Finally, how do you know the GTAIV hype is as big as it could have been? You don't. Maybe if there were no Wii's last week or no MK:Wii, more people would have bought GTAIV? I bought both games, so certainly there is a criss cross audience for those games.

 

I find it ironic that when Wii gets good news you always have to jump in with your deductions based on the logic that the PS3 must've really won somehow, it's just that nobody understands the facts as well as I do, so I'll explain it to them. The PS3 really won! You just don't understand how to read the numbers.

 

 

Fact: The Wii outsold Xbox 360 + PS3 + 100,000ish units this week in NA.

Fact: Mario Kart Wii came dangerously close to matching GTAIV on the PS3 in NA.

 

 

If you believe those are out of context or whatever, then by all means, explain to me how the Wii "lost" anything.

Tell me about how the Wii cheated. I mean, that's what your really telling us right? That it cheated?
