Ahh, but let me show you an example. Something I was actually thinking of writing about:

There are 2 different types of casuals!!!

As this week's American charts will show you, Grand Theft Auto IV actually boosted hardware sales, and this helped boost sales for games on both the platforms it was released on. While all games saw a boost, many of them were sports games, such as NBA 2K8, Madden, WWE Smackdown, etc. Of course, the Wii saw boosts for those sorts of games too, but that was mainly because it sold 400k units in America this week, an incredible amount. So, there are two types of casuals: Those that buy sports games, sandbox games, and shooters, and, of course, those that buy platformers, minigame titles, and other games that are for all ages.

Not only do we have a rift between the hardcore and casuals, but we have a rift in casual gamers themselves! I'm not sure LittleBigPlanet would appeal to the people who buy GTA4, but it's all very interesting to think about.

There are only 31 million 360s+PS3s out there guys. GTA just sold 6 million copies in a week.

Its in for the mother of all drops (80%-90% lower than last week) this week, but it will hold up nicely after that.

If the game does more than 1.2 million worldwide on 360+PS3 I'll be very impressed.

That said I'm expecting:

               360k/140k for 360 (Americas/Others)

               220k/280k for PS3 (Americas/Others)

Just guessing though. None of our data for this week is in yet
