could be b/c of supply issues wit FF13

Lol you are absolutely right man. This won't stop the fanboy Wii owners from using this as ammunition (notice I mention the fanboy owners not the average open minded ones). Another thing to look at is the install base, and if FFXIII sales are closely behind NSMBW it is a huge victory, that simple. 9 million + vs 4million +. $quenix has also had issues with supply since their expectations were a bit lower, which also shows something. One thing is certain though, NSMBW like every other Mario game, will have looooong legs.

Make games, not war (that goes for ridiculous fanboys)

I may be the next Maelstorm or not, you be the judge http://videogamesgrow.blogspot.com/ hopefully I can be more of an asset than a fanboy to VGC hehe.

most people dont want to wait 2-3 days after game is out. Amazon is not popular for games like Halo, COD, FF13...it is popular for games like Fracture, Wet and Brutal Legend tho...when they go in the dicount mode.

What if, as has happened so far, not a single Nintendo fanboy tries to use this as ammunition against FFXIII?

A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
