As what it comes to "GTA proving something", it's one of the games that are in biggest competition with Wii games by its demographic, and also a thing to consider is, that Wii Fit/Mario Kart had pretty close launches with GTA4, so without them, GTA4 might have had visible effect. LOL , please let me have some of what your taking.
Call it the red pill or whatever. You could obviously need one.
So, how did GTA4 had effect on Wii? If we look at the numbers, it only gave a huge boost to it.
The thing is, that Nintendo can kill the effect of any game, released to competing platform, to its own platforms sales by releasing a game that targets different demographic. That's exactly what they did in Europe with GTA4/Wii Fit releases What the hell are you talking about , that's like ford releasing a new car everytime a lamborughini came out , your not makin any sense. Wii-Fit didn't have any real effect on the sales of GTA IV and any effect it may have had was neglible.
Atleast you got that right. What do you think Ford is competing with Jaguar and Aston Martin?
So, how did GTA4 effect on Wii sales? According to numbers, it gave Wii a boost.
and in NA Nintendo put itself to direct competition with GTA4/MKWii release. What happens when PS360 gets a big "casual", Wii Fit type of game? Nintendo releases a traditional type of game and again, as much hyped as the game for the competition would be, Nintendo still would show as a big winner, since the big game didn't have any effect to Wiis sales. Sorry maybe i'm getting confused , but how can you be directly competing with some one if your offering something completley different to the consumer . It's like 50 cent releasing his album to damage britney spear's sales.

I think you need to look up the definition of competition and then understand what general and direct competition is. |
There's a huge overlap between GTA4 and MKWii demographics. I'd say they are in direct competition, as much as different type of games can be.
And again, it's about 50cent releasing a new album so that Britney wouldn't damage 50cent sales. |
Garbage , I can almost guarantee your speaking anecdotaly , GTA IV ( Blood gore , violence , nudity , swearing ) is a totaly different type of game from MKWii ( colourfull bright , stupid voices , minute violence ) , the demographics of the two will cross over to an extent but the majorit of the people that the developers are trying to target with their repsective games will be totaly different hence the games being totaly different.
And again your wrong , 50 Cent's audience may cross over with Britney Spear in parts but his music , concept , attitude is completley different to that of Britney Spears , He'd struggle to sell more than 100k albums whilst adopting Britney Spear's music style, concept and attitude in the same way Britney would struggle to sell 100k albums with 50 , their audiences for the most part are different.
I can only speak anecdotaly on this part because I don't have any statistical data to proove what i'm about to say ( unlike you who simply states opinion like it's justified ) But people generaly tend to listen to one genre of music or genres of music with similar music style whilst listening to other music of different musical influence possibly a 70%/30% split.
