There were more references to it than just this instance in the media, although I'm not sufficiantly interested enough to bother trawling through masses of posts on this website.

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).

what has changed?

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

LeoJ?

Don't tell me you forgot about this meltdown.

That's amazing -- 20 million.
More than most people would have ever thought the Wii would sell -- let alone a game for it.

I am Mario.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.
