:lol I am actually feeling sorry for some people in this thread. Seriously, calm down.
Its only 2008, this gen is young, especially if you believe the 7-10 year figures MS and Sony have banded about.. Everyone's gonna do a-ok! Ok?

I hope 3rd parties are taking very close watch at this NPD. Especially the 3rd parties that specialize in RPGs.
if you're an rpg fan you should hope third parties stay as far away from sales figures as possible.
The more I think about it, GTAIV had a pretty mediocre debut IMO. Halo 3 sold 3.3 million in the first week on sale (it was also released during the end of the month). GTAIV (360 version) only did 1.85 million in the same time frame.
Thought it'd do quite a bit more - it had a bigger potential userbase and HUGE advertising campaign.

"Official April 1st NPD thread of massive disappointment if you're not Nintendo" amirite?
ps: i got really, really screwed in the prediction thread.

I think there's going to be a 360 price drop very soon.
I'm not sure if Sony can really drop their system anymore.
Since Nintendo is the market leader, maybe they'll starting acting like it and realize the average gamer isn't 10 years old. You know, take away some of the online restrictions (voice chat, screen names, ect), and actually make some new gaming IPs that doesn't revolve around Mario.
Also, hopefully some 3rd party companies start supporting the Wii a little better. Because Capcom has really been the only 3rd party developer consistently making good games for the Wii.

Judging the market by the top 10 are we? That kind of thinking is the reason people's heads are exploding at this GTA4 news.
so is it wrong to hate nintendo and it's stupid crappy console more with each passing month? I mean don't get me wrong I've had a blast with mario galaxy, metroid prime 3, twilight princess and no more heroes but seriously 700,000 + consoles sold in a month with absolutly fucking nothing worth buying on it ?
I think we can consider april 2008 as the official toe tag for real videogames. Thanks nintendo, go fuck yourselves for ruining real games with this casual bullshit.
I allready barely consider the wii a game system, to me it's a toy that happens to play games whereas I look at the 360 as a videogames machine and the ps3 as a multimedia hub. I can atleast take comfort in the fact that 3rd parties release tons of shit that doesn't seem to sell on wii so they can still put real games on 360 and ps3.

Yeah but 149k would be doing pretty well!
Actually, I`d be happy to see it break 100k (PS2 original did 300k WW didn`t it?)

BS.
The success of Blu-ray is for sure up there on their list but to say they don't care about what happens to the Playstation brand is flat out ignorant.
