Gran bomba 6, vita tv scratching the botton, nintendo pacman, DQX expansion sold out, mario up. really interesting week.

Gran bomba? You know it's selling better than Mario 3D, right?

It sold about twice as well, but the install base for the PS3 is about 8x bigger than the Wii U. Obviously, that doesn't mean that it should sell 8x more, but the expectations should definitely be higher. It also opened at about half of what GT5 did.

So in your logic, if Mario Galaxy 3 was released on the Wii it would sell more than Mario Galaxy 2?

Just because 3D Flop is flopping doesn't meant GT6 didn't sold like shit.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Do you even know what bombing means? What in hell makes you think that a game should sell less than a Mario game before someone can say that it bombed?

I wouldn't say that it bombed but it's a weak opening for sure for GT 6. But I'm more curious at your reasoning for including Mario as the comparision point for a gran turismo game.

And . Excellent Wii U sales.

Both are selling less than their previous games, yet we should be ok with one and scrutinize the other.

but only one is selling far less than the previous, wich was on the same system.

not necessarily, but opening at half the predecessor is not a good sign.
