Wii is not Weeping

Almost everyone is dead crazy over Wii, and it shows. The Wii console took the market by storm ever since it was first revealed back in September 2005, and a couple of years forward, and it is still a force to reckon with. Even the head honcho of the gaming console industry, PS, and the previous second most popular console, Xbox, could not do much to deter the fresh and undeniably creative idea behind the Wii.

But is it time for the superbly popular Wii to take a bow, and make way for the others?

Well, that’s what Forbes.com is saying. According to them, the Grand Theft Auto IV is a huge threat against the reign of Wii over the gaming mass. “$400 million this week on sales of 6 million copies of the crime-drenched videogame” says Forbes.com.

Um, maybe that’s going overboard?

Sure Grand Theft Auto is a superb video game, setting the standards for other games of the same genre to catch up. But is it really that ground breaking that it could threaten a groundbreaking console, which generated around 25 million in units’ sale alone?

Not to mention that the Nintendo console also effortlessly broke into markets all over the globe.

Sure, sure, Grand Theft Auto IV does make song buying easier, but does everyone care? Just because a handful of people own an iPod and a gaming console doesn’t prove that the new Grand Theft Auto is a threat against Wii. For that matter, what it proves is that many folks have more money on their hands than most of us, as they can afford that much luxury, and that’s that.

Let’s look at it this way; you can’t say that a game can be a threat just because it was hot for 5 minutes. You can’t even say that Grand Theft Auto is the HOTTEST GAME of the year, because we haven’t even reached the good half of the year yet. As far as we know, Wii might already have a game under a cloak, ready to release it and have fanboys make a cult from it.
