So when GTA IV wasn't out the Wii was raping everything else? And when GTA IV subsides in sales the Wii will go back to raping everything else?



Hmm.

Keep in mind GTA IV sold that many on TWO consoles. I'm aware that it's an utterly fantastic game, but keep in mind that the Wii's big sellers, such as Wii Fit, Mario Galaxy and Mario and Sonic at the Olympics, are only on Wii. Well, except Mario and Sonic, 'cause that's on DS too. But the other two are Wii-only HUGE sellers, much like GTA IV. So no, GTA didn't rape Wii.
