The U.S. can have off weeks just like every territory, really. This wasn't so much an off week as a Nintendomination week. The only big release I can even think of this week on the HD consoles is Haze, and poor rated games aimed at the hardcore crowd usually do very poorly.

As the Wii Fit hype gets to sane levels and the Metal Gear Solid 4 hype kicks in, we should start seeing more balanced sales.

 

Didn't some say the same thing when GTAIV was coming out? Something to the tune of "GTAIV sales will kill the Wii". I think by now we shouldn't make any assumptions that any game release will lead to more balanced sales. Nintendo is sneaky and stockpiles Wii's for such occaisions.

Well, I didn't say that. And I'm not saying it now.

I just said "more balanced sales." The Wii could still be dominating, but at least it won't be to the degree it likely will be in the weeks following the NA Wii Fit launch.

 

Maybe you're right, but at this point I wouldn't rule anything out.
