The force is strong with vgchartz....

When will starwars fandom die? Probably not till after Wiimote+ SW Lightsabre Fight Night 3

“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.

Great press for the site! Lead story of the night!

"The torch has officially been passed, and it is time for super Mario Brothers to take a seat. According to the stat-crunching website VGChartz with a z, that means its street, Wii Sports is not the best belling video game of all time."

They then give the numbers, and follow it up with a yet another doom and gloom story about Sony closing major divisions early next month.

That's a hell of a typo.

G4! That's awesome!

Slightly off topic: Did anyone see when Fran Mirabella said that the he wants to see the Wii stop and that the Wii is killing games? It was on the 2009 preview episode. He was an interviewee. I'll see if I can find the vid...

Edit: Got the link. Sorry, I know it's random but it just infuriated me how a professional would throw the Wii under the bus like that...

Great stuff!

This story is cited all over the world, including lots of non-gaming sites (see link below). I don't think, VGChartz has ever been mentioned so often on other sites. Very impressive.
