so they aren't releasing the numbers?



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Hmm, these numbers could be epic ownage, in the month GTAIV is release. I literally cannot wait to see the reactions of Kotaku posters, lol.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

Calm down, and wait for official numbers.

So it sounds like the Wii's sales are (roughly) double the PS3 and XBox 360 sales combined in the month of the release of (potentially) the most anticipated HD game of this generation ...

Weren't analysts claiming that Grand Theft Auto 4 was going to spell the doom of the Wii?
