I don't know what happened to GTA4. *Goes back to Mario Kart*
We will see it anyway when Mario kart Wii and Wii Fit will outsold both GTA IV combined. Maybe in a year or later
end of core gaming days prediction:
E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced
E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.
E3 2010- Tape runs out

Well.. I don't think Wii Fit stop the hype at all, maybe the launch number of GTAIV could've been bigger but not THAT bigger, mainly because they both are made for different kind of gamers.

Well I never seen any news/commercials of GTA IV hype atleast in america anymore, its just Wii Fit especially about the wii fit grand launch in Central Park NY. |
WRONG!!!
Watch the NBA playoffs.. the exact target demographic for GTA watches professional sports (young males)
The advertisements are numerous in amount littered all over ESPN and TNT.
3 Versions of the GTA adds are constanly rolling... the PS3 branded commercial, the 360 branded commercial, and the multiplatform/take two funded version.
Not to mention all of the building size advertisements in major cities.
It makes me wonder why major game releases in past years have not been launched around the playoffs for both the NBA and NHL.. which is now.
Just let me say....Great marketing for GTA, I see it every day. In Every type of way. Hurray!
And Now I'm off to play.. seriously
̶3̶R̶D̶ 2ND! Place has never been so sweet.

Not at all. But you have to admit that everyone, including me, were expecting more from the game. The fact that Mario Kart (a great game, but a karts game after all) is on par with GTA4, probably surpassing it in a few weeks is a little bit (and no not get me wrong) disapointing.
Maybe I feel this way after thing the ridiculous sales of San Andreas, tough obviosly the userbase now is not the one San Andreas had back in 2004...

How is it close to on par? GTA IV has sold more than twice as much each week. It's not like Mario Kart is a bad seller historically, either. GTA IV is ahead of San Andreas pace.
Mario Kart Wii---> 4,51 millions
GTA4-X360-> 4,58 millions
GTA4-PS3-> 3,52 millions
GTA (total)--> 8,10 millions
I know that combined they finger MK all around, I meant insividually.
But, judging from the legs, the gap between the two games could be really, really smaller by years end. But I would need to see how much both are selling from here to a month to firmly stat that.

I really doubt it... WiiFit and GTA IV couldn't possibly be more different... they each have separate hype.

You got me there, so theres still hype for GTA IV after all.
But I wonder how long the hypoe will be, remember that Wii Fit isnt released yet till May 21 which is tomorrow.
