And all those critics slamming this game in favor of GTA IV (and I'm a fan of GTA) are eating crow (just denying it).

I'm confused, critics slammed MK Wii  in favor of GTA4, now they are eating crow because it sold more, what?

The thing was GTA IV was to be the savior of hardcore gaming, the triumph of big, cinematic games over casual "non-games" like Mario Kart Wii (which did the sin of making it nearly impossible to win by playing it stictly like a racing game as MK DS did with snaking).



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

I do remember a lot of the gaming media predicting the release of GTA to be the end of the Wii's dominance.

I've no idea what individuals on VGChartz said what, I do however remember at least 2 links to external gaming websites and I one big online newspaper that predicted the Wii's fall on release of GTA.

They funny thing is, this is my most played Wii game at ~230 hours but I still don't own a copy. I should rectify that at some point.
