I want to see Wii Fit Plus beat Uncharted 2 for all the lulz come NPD day.

Sad thing is it probably will...

WiiFit+



4 ≈ One

I quess it will be very close between Uncharted 2 and WiiFit +, nearly a tie, so only NPD can show us the "truth"

the joke is on who?

No jokes.  It would just be amusing to me.  I didn't buy either one, so I'm not concerned which one comes out on top.  I'm just saying it would funny to me if Wii Fit + does.  Don't take it any kind of way...

A. It's pathetic that you would even find humor there.

B. Wii Fit is a known 10mill+ selling franchise at this point, Uncharted is not (in fact NOT EVEN CLOSE). Therefore, the joke would be on YOU.

A Why?

B. That has nothing to do with this.  Wouldn't Uncharted 2 be more front loaded than Wii Fit Plus?  What you say is true, but irrelavent to the point.  We know Wii Fit Plus will sell way more than Uncharted 2 LTD, but no one's talking about that.  He said "October NPD" - which is first month's sales.

And stop being so angry... geez!  Hardcore tears and the people who constantly piss, whine, moan, bitch about "non-games" outselling so-called "real, hardcore gamer-games" has entertained me all this gen.  It's not like I'm trying to spite you or anything - so don't be aggravated.

Problem is, while many consider NPD to be "the truth", I don't think it is. It doesn't have Walmart data (according to Reggie, Nintendo's biggest US retailer by far) nor (I think - not sure about this one) Amazon. Yes NPD tries to take that into account statistically, but I am not at all sure it is successful in that.

This is not about Wii Fit+ or Uncharted 2, it is about "the truth"

@ CGI

I edited as you were replying.  I clarified a bit.

Wouldn't shear spite be the only reason you would "lulz" if Wii Fit+ outsold Uncharted 2 for oct?

 

As a Wii only owner who isn't interested in Wii Fit I can only think of one reason you would "want to see" that.



@CGI -

Ok.  I wasn't saying you were angry because you objected to what I said, but because I detected it in your tone.

@Steriod -

I thought I explained very clearly that it wasn't spite, but that I find it entertaining when "the hardcore" cry over a "non-game" outselling a "gamer's game". Here's an example for you - I found the comments on this story to be particularly delicious and lulz-worthy.



I would back Wii Fit plus' legs to stand up just enough to win, but it will certainly be close, and good sales from Uncharted 2

That was incredible!  I almost died laughing, especially at that really long meltdown at the bottom of the page, where he said the Wii was as technologically advanced as a toaster.
