Forums - Gaming Discussion - Prediction: Wii Fit will outsell GTA4 worldwide by 2009

Yeah, honestly I doubt this prediction. GTA sold SOOOOOO many copies last gen. Wii Fit will sell a lot don't get me wrong, but GTA4 might outsell all of its previous iterations.



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

Wiifit will be the best selling game EVER released by 1st January 2009 : largely possible for me

 GTA: SA sold 17.37 million to a userbase of 142 million consoles and you think GTAIV selling to just 30 million will outsell it?

Possible, but that's because Wiifit is a controller and not a game in the traditional sense



PSN ID: T_Gears

End of 2009 ltd sales:

Wii = 67-68m

X360 = 38-39m

PS3 = 34-35m

Prediction: The PS3 will surpass the 360 on weekly sales after it drops to $299 on all regular weeks (no big releases).

 Do you think the PS3/360 combined install base will stay at 30 million forever and never move upwards? That's equally silly if you ask me.

I think it´s going to be close from day one with Wiifit winning in the long run.

Of course it won't stay at 30 million but if you think it's going to carry on to 142 million, you're even more delusional.

In theory Wii-Fit should to apeal to everyone but in practice I don't think it will...

-Not the best party game
-Probably only for weight concious people , fat people.
-People who like to work out and get fit probably would prefer the gym

I think if Nintnendo spin Wii-Fit as more of a game/party type thing then it's sales potential will exceed that of GTA's.

I wouldn't be shocked by Wii-Fit outselling GTA it's really just a matter of how Nintendo markets it.




well if I just say--"no shit its obvious its going to sell just like Wii Play did but maybe better due to health clubs buying the damn thing along with normal customers"--will this cover your question

I don't think so. GTA will most likely dwarf Wii Fit numbers.
