I don't see how this is viewed as a "HUGE failure" in PS360.

We have PS360 number 1 game of the year vs Nintendo most popular Franchise game (mario kart)

and we will see that GTA KILLED it.

Sure, Nintendo did flood the market with their consoles for once. but why can't they do this earlier? WHy leave those in the warehouse when they could be in someone's home earlier where they'd buy another game or two?

 I wasn't going to get into this and had only come to this topic to make sure it wasn't going to get nasty but I just have to clear this up:

1.  Mario Kart isn't Nintendo's most popular franchise, that would be Super Mario Bros. 
2. If you want to get nasty, it took two consoles to beat one Nintendo game that averages a good 10 points lower than it.
3. Nintendo flooded the market?  Yeah, they upped production but flooding the market is when you put A LOT of supply out there and then it just sits there.  As long as Wii's move they aren't doing anything wrong.
4. I could have swore I have seen interview after interview where Reggie says there is no mythical warehouse full of Wii's.

 Kudos! It's refreshing to see some mature gamers disprove FUD with concise responses backed with common logic!
