Intresting that nobody said something, but look at PS3/ 360 numbers. Does not look like GTA drove console sales in any case. The Wii is currently destroying both, by a high margin. It sold 3 times more than 360/PS3 (alone). I think it is pretty official now: Nintendo owns this Industry right know, big time! I can remember people laughing in Feb. that the Wii would never catch up to the 360 in June (like predicted from Reggi). It is pretty obvious right know, I would guess, Heck they maybe getting them in May.
MS and Sony are in big trouble in America right know. MS really need to slash prices on the 360 to go again ahead of the PS3 again.
And they need a strategy to attack Nintendo. It is know obvious that Wii is not a fad and it is cutting in the same market as MS and PS3. It is not like some people said, it is only selling mainly to new gamers, there are in different markets. Wii is def. taking sales away from MS and Sony, they finally starting to act like it. Both are company's knowing how to fight a "sales war". Instead of attacking the leader, they attacking each other.
Really, if somebody told me that MK Wii would outsell GTA (PS3) in the first week in America, I just would call them crazy. If somebody told me that it outsells both other consoles 3.5:1 in the damn freaking month GTA is releasing, I would just call the mental home, to pick them up.
