Status: offline 		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???

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

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.

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

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.
