It might not have the massive cultural impact of previous instalments, but it is still gonna be the biggest system seller of the generation (no, wii sports doesn't count).
if they see some videos and pictures ...
they want to try it !
forget Gears of War ..
FF , GT5 , killzone 2 , a lot of PS2 games
| CrazzyMan said: GTA 4 won't affect the Wii no more than Halo 3 affected the Wii, totally different appeal, most people have no interest in GTA 4 Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 15.21 Grand Theft Auto: Vice City 14.20 Grand Theft Auto 3 11.60 it`s like saying. Most people have no interest in Mario games. Mario Kart: Double Dash 6.60 Super Smash Bros Melee 6.58 Super Mario Sunshine 5.91 The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker 4.38 Luigi Mansion 3.39 Metroid Prime 2.77 You must be a TOTALLY BLIND nintendo fanboy. =)) |
Funny how all the nintendo games you listed were on a system with a much smaller install base.
GTA only had less than 15% attach rate, 85% of PS2 owners didn't care, like I said most don't care about GTA
Also highest selling Mario game is over 40 million, a lot more care about mario

non-gamers don't care about ff (rpgs are niche), gt5 (hardcore sim), killzone2 or those other games

what's so great about gta4 for me is the same game with update graphics.
Why doesn't anyone mention the PSP GTA's sales and draw conclusions from them?
I'm not going to, because I'm lazy, but someone should. =P

Sure, why not. It is a valid point that GTA clearly didn't have the same impact on the PSP that it had on the PS2 (less than 1/3 the sales), but we won't know yet whether this represents fading interest in the series or just an issue with people not buying it because it's on a handheld. Time will tell.
Didn't the PS2 version of the PSP GTA sell poorly also, compared to other GTA games?

3.15m yeah, but it's basically just a remake of GTA3, so it shouldn't be expected to sell well. That would be like complaining that RE4Wii sold less than RE4 on the PS2.
