Wii outselling PS360 combined the week GTAIV launched. 

GIF needed :

 

Yeah, that's my vote.

Either that or the Day MLB Power Pros 2008 came out.

 

 

 When does the gif made? MK Wii or Wii Fit?

It was made GTA/MK Wii week.

That was the work of MK Wii.

 



So many great moments this year that Nintendo surged even further ahead as the new king in the world of videogames.

I agree about NPD april numbers (and the meltdowns that followed it from PS3/360 fans) but I personally was shocked about november NPD numbers, they were EPIC! 2 million consoles sold in one month!

Gamewise the biggest happening of the year for me was Mario Kart Wii. I have played it to death, I never get tired of racing online. To me it´s the game of the year period, just love it and the sales for the game are just monstrous, really it´s unbelievable at what rate this game is selling!



Possibly the two funniest moments were GTA Release week and hardware results, and that reaction to E3 conference, both epic.



The realization that I am disconnected from a majority of gamers for the first time.

@kasz and rubang----> Thanks! So Nintendo actually releasing their major frnachises month and every month in first and second quarter of 2008 alone?!! WOW I bet even SONY cant do that.

The ironic part was fanboys especially some certain fanboy didnt see this. I give you a hint:

I actually think that the high Wii sales in April weren't due directly to MK Wii ( althought it is still selling great many months after its launch ).
If I remember correctly in March Nintendo started to ship to the market high quantity of Wii consoles ( after the sold-out of December 2007 ) to try to meet demand thus resulting in an array of months where Wii sales were abnormally high for the season ( it still is ).

The funny thing was that the expectation for GTAIV was really high and was seen by those that don't understand the Wii success like a holy anchor that would save the HD twin's ship from the revolution.
The laughs came from these expectation being washed away by GTA selling many units but selling very few consoles from both the sides.

Wii huge sales were only the cherry on the cake in the general meltdown.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
