Did you see the latest charts? Despite GTA4 the Wii still manage to outsell the PS360 combined that is really unbelieveable because I thought the Wii was gonna get destroyed by GTA hype. Guess I was wrong, that little white box is full of surprises. Tell me what do you guys think about this???

Some just don't believe it http://forums.n4g.com/m_124136/mpage_1/key_/tm.htm#124136   400k is a pretty crazy number for one week specially when it's up against a big gun such as GTA

all i know is that little motion toaster is very undarrated, it can launch missiles when time of battle.

I still dont want to get a Wii but GTA4 fail so hard that fans are going against the series now...

I have all my faith on The Getaway

About 2.3 for the 360 and 1.3 for the PS3. Total of about 3.6–3.7 million copies, possibly more.

damn, no one ever saw this wii craziness coming.
i still think it's ridiculously expensive for what you're actually getting. the damn thing can't even play back dvd's! wtf!
and it's more of a party console so you're looking at getting a few wiimotes and nunchucks and whatever other accessories needed.
way over priced, but i'll eventually get one for my daughter since she likes it.

the only game that even interests me on the damn thing is Zelda.

That's what I've been saying. $300 for last gen without even the ability to play CD's or DVD's is overpriced. Most people I know that have them bought the Wii for their young kids who slowly got bored with it.

I really for the life of me can't figure out why having a gaming console play a dvd is such a big deal.  That's pulling at staws on things one can complain about really.  It's like me saying how the 360 is a no buy for me because it doesn't have a web browser on it and I can't stand the purchase of the PS3 because I have to instal the games after I download them.

Also trying to put down a console by saying my little kid plays it... guess what 5 year olds play games on the others too!    Guess all consoles suck now

GTA4 is not the best one by far GTA: San Andreas still holds the crown

WII WILL BE CRASHEDDDDDDDDD..


Its obvious that GTA is only aimed at their existing audience, lots( read:not all) of people who buy a Wii dont know much about GTA4, they dont know about the hype gamers create.
Im not suprised by this, i mean to think that "hardcore" gamers outnumber this big new audience is ludacris.

yeah, but for $250 it should play cd's and dvd's or something. especially this day and age where consoles are doing more than just play games. i could understand if the price was $150-200. i'm fine with that. but $300 including tax is overpriced for what you're getting.

GTA4 is Badass, IMO its worth more than $60...Had it since release and not a single bit bored of it and i dont think ill give this game a break until Mafia 2 or something else like it comes out ( Of course ill rent a few games, probly buy Haze, but GTA4 is still gonna get loads of playtime)
