So you can see that the last 2 years the Wii Novembers acted  very similiar.  The week that NSMBWii launched the Wii sales increased about 35% over the previous week. The year before the Wii jumped 20%.  If things stayed the same YoY the Wii would have increased to 647Krather than 731K so could say NSMBWii caused an additional 84K bump launch week. Interesting enough the previous year Black Friday week the Wii jumped 65% while 2009 with NSMBWii in its second week the Wii sales jumped only 55%.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

LIES! You are going to play it on the PC, I have forseen it. You are going to have a new PC by the end of the year and on that PC is going to be Mass Effect 1 and 2. You will purchase these for less than $30 U.S. and that and other savings will justfy the uberness of your custom built PC.

On that PC will also be Civilization 5 because I order it.

Do not deny your birthright. I am your father. PC gaming is what we do.

There are some games I will only play on PC, there are others I'll only play on console. ME always seemed like a console game to me.

You always seemed like a PC gamer to me. Somewhere/somehow you lost your birthright and I am here to help you get it back. Do not deny me my son for I am your father and I know whats best for you.



Tease.

In fact almost the opposite is true. I was console only for a long time, then I was shown the light when a very good friend lent me Icewindale 1 & 2 and Age of Empires II and my eyes were opened. Now I'm equal opportunity, though I still practice quite a bit of genre discrimination between console and PC.

MGS4 is only a few weeks from 5 million. Great stuff, first PS3 5 million exclusive if I'm not mistaken. It should make it there before GT5 release, but even if it doesn't it should beat GT5 to 5 million.

Uncharted 2 still tricking along after almost 1 year. >4 million LTD is pretty much certain I think. They should come out with a GOTY version with a bunch of online maps and some other added goodies thrown in.

ME2 has hit 2 million. Solid result. Looks like it will outsell ME1 on Xbox alone, and then PS3 will push at least 500K I think, 1 million would be great but pretty wishful thinking. It's on my buy list for PS3 for sure.

GoW III rolling towards 3 million. Will certainly beat GoW II, not sure if it'll make it to GoW though. (Of course with GoW collection I & II are out of reach of GoW III, but that's cheating a bit).

Alan Wake is mere weeks from 750K, which I think given it's less than amazing start is a pretty good outcome. It really benefitted from the 360s launch, much more so than a lot of other games that have a much higher LTD.

I know you wouldn't give the steam of your own pee for PC gaming. I understand your lack of sophistication, you aren't living in the top half of the North Island. Luckily you can get additional Steam to make the whole thing a lot cheaper.



Tease.

There are 10 people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

P.S. My sons name is David. I don't know of a David in the Star Trek universe.

just hefty ammount of great games and reasonable price.

It doesn't need to outsell the DS to be sucessful as long as it profits, atleast thats what nintendo fans say about the gamecube. XD

We need some good games as software is weak
