Okay, so I was reading the Best Buy Brochure today for the US. and i was looking. Then, my brother came down and he was like, "isn't it weird that Mario Kart Wii is on the front cover rather than GTA IV?" I was like, well not really (Go Nintendo)

What do you think?

Mario Kart is probably more family-friendly. You don't a gun in your face and a woman suggestively licking a lollipop to show your Mom.

can't get to weekly ad, I don't have a Zip code, but Ads in Canada has huge GTA on the front, with Mario Kart only tiny print.

Well, mostly to advertise their midnight launch party
