      You said it much more sophisticated than I would have been able to, but my thoughts exactly.

        Given Mario Party 8's atrocious reviews, Big Brain Academy's niche-ness, Resident Evil 4's old-ness. The Harry Potter and Pokemon will probably sell well, given that the average age of the Wii owners is smaller than my dick size (in inches).
        Yeah, those atrocious reviews of MP 8 certainly prevented it from outselling Forza 2 (with nearly 2x the install base).

        I probably shouldn't have included RE4, but its the only one out of those that I would buy.

          Check it next month, when it's not supply constrained...

          Future Shop / Best Buy in Canada didn't even stock them til this month.

                • Well, if a game isn't on sale in many places during the 3 days sales were tracked, is it not reasonable to assume this can inhibit sales in those days?

                  I ask because I'm honestly not sure if this is beyond you.

                      • How many of those sold more than 2 copies on the Wii?

                        The point is the overwhelming demographic for the console is games like Mario Party and Pokemon over Godfather and Scarface. The fact that they were released means nothing when nobody buys them.

                        • I want to make it clear how much the godfather and scarface sucked.

                                It means that in family with say, a 35 YO male, his 33 YO wife, and say, an 8 YO kid, in which the 35 YO has played video games from childhood, but isnt super hardcore, it removes one negative from the Wii "your wife and kid will play it, but you wont" He can think that theres still games only he will want, even though me may ever end up only buying one, at most, so the software sales figures are dominated by the other type of games.

                                It wont make the Wii desirable to a single 25 YO male hardcore gamer.

                                The key strategic question for Nintendo, is, if those 35 YOs still keeping a toe in that kind of gaming, have a very low rate of software purchases, will those games continue to be made for the Wii?
