LOL. some people actually thought that the ps3 version would outsell MK wii. hard to know what they were thinking.

some of these predictions seem outlandish, but one should remember this was when GTA4 was reeling in 10 after 10 in reviews, and before anyone knew that it was just being overflown with heavy hype. you'll notice that the only ones who believed MK would outsell Gta are the hardcore nintendo fans.

this thread should've been revived a little down the road, when MKwii passes GTA in total sales. then crow shall be served.

One of the problems was that almost all Nintendo fans on this board were hyping up Smash Bros. and barely anyone talked about MK:Wii - I bet lots on this site expected Smash Bros. to beat Mario Kart too.

 



bah! necro!



Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!

Lot's of crow is going to get served in this thread. But in all fairness not that many people expected this to happen.

Okay, Wii Fit prediction threads.

http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=27233 (a May one)

 

This one is a guy saying that MKWii and Wii Fit will outsell GTA IV combined (not bad huh?) and includes Leo-J saying "There is no chance wii fit and MK WII combined will outsell GTA 4." It also has a few other odd comments, but surprisingly many good predictions, in a non prediction thread. (May one)

 

Here below, is a pretty dang awesome prediction by Game Boy. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=25335

"I am predicting that Vgchartz will show a higher total for Wii Fit worldwide than GTAIV's Xbox 360 and PS3 versions combined on January 1st, 2009."

People are pretty awesome at predicting in this thread too. Well, except for people like this. http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?id=735703, and a few predictions by Leo-J (GTA IV Ps3 will beat Wii Fit by Jan 1 2009), and Shams being a bit off.

Wii fit wont outsell the PS3 version of GTA 4, its not likely and not possible, GTA Is the biggest thing to gaming wii cant kill it too.

Ahh. Loverly justice.



I guess the reason the "hardcore Nintendo fanboys" were the only ones to believe MK Wii would do so well, is because they know the legs of these games, and how high Nintendo franchise game sales go.

I remember making the arguement that games like New Super Mario Bros., and others, don't have the astronomical first week sales, but reach numbers like 15-25 million by hanging around on the top 20 lists for years. I've yet to see a game on any non-Nintendo system do that.

And as for Leo-J, thank god this site has some comedic presence.

Yes, I got owned bad in this thread. A lot of people did. But necroing threads is against the rules. Besides, I'd wait for the event to actually happen and just make a thread about it instead of reviving a thread 6 months later with very little relevance when the difference is still over a million.
