Wow, that's quite a feat. And mind boggling to think that's still within the 1st year of the game on the market, and it's not showing any signs of slowing down. At all. Also, I'm amazed at how great Wii Play continues to sell week after week.

You're not amazed by Wii Sports sales?

 

Well, yes, it that'll make you feel all nice and fuzzy, alright. I'm terribly amazed by the sales of Wii Sports. :) There.

Yay!!!! Btw, have you noticed that like 90% of people who buy a Wii also buy Wii sports? How do they do it ?

*Confused in New Zealand is confused* 

 



Tease.

Well, actually Wii Fit came out in JP in December

Don't worry, in 4 weeks it will have made that difference too (Wii Fit was at ~1.9 million when GTAIV released)

And it will only be 2 weeks till it becomes the best selling game of 2008. And Mario Kart Wii will follw as the 2nd best seller 1-2 weeks later.

They do? Hmm, that might just explain those sales. Come to think of it, I might've gotten it too when I bought my Wii. Those sly people at the stores must be secretly slipping them into buyers' shopping bags when they're not looking, that must be it, I see no other logical explanation!

Someone needs to make this as a news article and digg this.

Casuals outnumber hardcore confirmed.

1.) - Ps3/Xbox360 have a higher userbase combined

 

2.) the game that got "10" on reviews is beaten by a game which got just 8.4!!

 

1.) Not for long, it seems

2.) GTA IV's 10's are looked at as proof that the review system is horribly broken.  Even most (not all) die hard fans of the series will admit some issues with the game.



I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there's a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can't find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

Casuals outnumbered the hardcore since the 5th generation, not so sure about the 3rd or 4th

Anyway, well done Wii Fit

Wii Sports is for tools and casuals.

Casuals with one eye. And a bum knee!

One problem with the title's claim...

PC sales of GTA IV are not included.


Not that PC version should do well, considering the user scores on Amazon:
5 star: 11% (5)
4 star: (0)
3 star: 4% (2)
2 star: 2% (1)
1 star: 80% (34)

that's true, but it could be a bit too much, i mean everyone has a pc!

i don't think it sold that much
