Wow.

Halo 3 only slowed the Wii down temporary in the console race and GTA4 did nothing to it, and yet the Wii just got more units sold than it did last week instead. O_o

Mario Kart Wii is definitely one of the reasons, that and isn't the Wii getting more shipments?

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though :P

GTA4 must've had a toothpick sword against the Black Knight from Fire Emblem or a paintball gun against Marcus Fenix and his chainsaw. Talk about having your foot in your mouth.......

Round 1: Eclipse.

The end.

lol that brings back memories ...that level when the Black Knight came out of the house with flying dragons chasing your ass as you make your way to the ship. I remember many times I tried to kill that bastard before realizing I was never meant to kill him but run like hell.

Nintendo planned this all along... Mario Kart Wii will not outsell GTAIV this week but it gave a good fight.

it was expected, why would a hard core game steal sales away from a more casual gamer oriented console designed to appeal to a different market? what is interesting though is that GTA4 moved next to no extra consoles! If the best game on the ps3/360 cant move consoles what can? its showing to be a hopeless uphill battle for them and their left in the dust to fight it out amongst them selves

If at first you don't succeed, you fail

Now. Where will the PS3 and 360 fall now?

Will the Wii be back at

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

I don't see how this is viewed as a "HUGE failure" in PS360.

We have PS360 number 1 game of the year vs Nintendo most popular Franchise game (mario kart)

and we will see that GTA KILLED it.

Sure, Nintendo did flood the market with their consoles for once. but why can't they do this earlier? WHy leave those in the warehouse when they could be in someone's home earlier where they'd buy another game or two?

Soriku (Feb 10/08): In 5 years the PS3/360 will be dead.

KH3 bet: "If KH3 comes to Wii exclusive, I will take a 1 month of sig/avatar by otheres open a thread apologize and praise you guys' brilliance." http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?start=50&id=18379

GoW2 ( expect 7 - 9 million entire life and over 2 mill first day), Fable 2 (expect 5-6 million entire life and 1.5 mill fist day) BK3 (expect 4 - 5 mill sales entire life and 1 mill first day).. Tales/IU/TLR should get to 2 or 3 million! post id: 868878
