Emotional, depressing, cut your self because u hate ur self and think that people hate u.(I don't mean you)
LoL That is Emo .
People seem to be forgetting The Lightsaber Duels, which is dated 7.11, 1,5 months after TFU, which propably effects TFU sales, since Lightsaber Duels seems more natural option for people who wants the lightsaber action.
@Bmaker: You know, pointing out the gamerankings/metacritic score proves nothing, but the thing that the reviewers don't represent the market.
We would have seen different kind of sales with GC, if its first party big hitters would have come out same time with PS2 big hitters (it wouldn't still had beaten PS2, but GC would have sold better). Also, looking at the sales based on one game, doesn't qualify but cherrypicking. Looking at the whole games library gives you a better picture. Outside FPS:s and racing sims, Wii has the best library out of the three, i believe.

And the sales numbers prove what? Average consumers preferences are not a measure of quality. I won't bother making some kind of point about mass market products compared to quality stuff. You know it yourself. Reviews are targeted towards gamers, not the people who buy carnival games.
Actually, the wii has the best library on platformers and minigames, nothing else. Rpg/action/rts/fps/racing games/sports games goes to 360/ps3.
I was expecting it since i predicted it in predictions league, also i dont really understand why it is such a big problem the game did good on all platforms.
What's so surprising about it? The Wii version is a better game. It's going to take a little while to catch up to the 360 version (sales of which were doubtless spurred on by Achievements-zombies in search of MOAR POINTZ), but this is also inevitable; I give it three weeks.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

The PS3 version of TFU is beating the Wii one EVERYWHERE and by a good margin.
And now I am a troll because saying I have some doubts about the Wii version outselling the PS3 one in NA?
The only FACTS we have is the PS3 version trouncing the Wii one everywhere ,even in countries where the Wii is as strong as UK.

The Wii version a better game?Based on what?
Actually unless in your school dictionary better=gimped and with unresponsive motion controls then no ,it is a worse game.

Wich logic?
The logic thing is what I said.UK has nearly 3 million Wii and 1.2 million PS3.The same games are succesful in UK and US.It doesnt have sense ,it isnt logic ,that the PS3 version outsells the Wii one 2-1 in UK and the Wii one beats handily the PS3 one in US.
Now thats logic.
Now if you are going to give me a different take on logic I will be glad to hear it.
I freely admit I dislike Diomedes. He views the world from a singular biased viewpoint. He doesn't even have multiple biases so he is utterly single minded. What is good for the PS3 must be true. To him the PS3 is mother, the PS3 is father, they are family. I often see him in my minds eye building his room to pay homage to his console. I even see him getting aroused once he turns the machine on. Thus he will defend any blight upon the PS3 with a single minded determination.
That said I am not agreeing with his logic, but I agree the outcome will probably be the same. This sites tracking is a mixed bag. The hardware is usually spot on, the software is usually spot off. Most posters know this so they are reluctant to use the numbers, because they have a terrible tendency toward reversal. I view the software sales as at best a general indicator myself.
I would say the PS3 offering probably outsold the Wii offering in North America. For no other reason then this is more of a core offering which tends to favor the PS3, as compared to a more casual offering which favors the Wii. That said I do expect the title to probably sell better on the Wii in the long run, because there will be nothing to dethrone the game on the Wii whereas there are half a dozen core titles for the PS3 in a few weeks.
The result the PS3 will sprint on this title for a few weeks and stall out. While the Wii version will plug along through the entirety of the holiday season. There are enough core gamers on the Wii to make this an eventual reality. This title will be a major title for the Wii this holiday season. While it will be long since forgotten on the PS3.
