I doubt that many of the knowledgeable members here were so naive as to seriously think that GTA IV was going to derail the Nintendo juggernaut (except possibly Crazzyman and his faith is unshakable). I'm not sure how many of us expected it to be Wiis biggest sales week/month ever and an all time industry record (I know Crazzyman, it was just because Nintendo withheld stock and then released it, the big meanies. Hey, it’s called business, get over it).There is less excuse for a distinguished magazine like Forbes, which is supposed to provide reliable sober information for people to invest their money, to feature an article suggesting quite seriously that GTA IV might kill the Wii. Written by a halfwit named Brian Caulfield, it also relied on information from Michael Pachter who flucuates between playing Capt. Obvious and just being wrong. It's alright for us to joke around here and poke fun at each other, but Forbes is supposed to be a source of reliable information. I don't think I would now trust them to tell me how to spend my pocket change.
