it breaks shit because people are too stupid to use it properly.....and ...the main reason Wii is selling more is because it transcends all demographs and that's what it set out to do...make a system that is accessible to you as it is for your grandparents....

xbox360 is for hardcore gamers into fps
Wii is for the casual gamers of any age

But yeh, I agree, ultimately sales aren't what matter.

EDIT: Oh, and as for the Wii, it's just selling so many units because every parent in the goddamn country is buying it for their kids because, much like children themselves, it's fucking stupid and annoying and apparently breaks shit.

the wii is awesome =0
super mario galaxy, metroid, zelda, smash bros.

You do know GTA4 was pushed back because the Ps3 was having trouble running the graphics. All the trailers you seen are run on the 360.

The exclusive content for 360 was ready well in advance of the original release date. The PS3 version was not working right so the release date was pushed back 5 times to provide the needed time to fix it. It could have been out for 360 in November but there was a contract with sony saying that it could not be released on 360 before PS.

So they paid extra for more downloadable content. Sounds like a good thing to me. Where is Sony in all this?

EDIT: Did you notice that your article was from June of last year? I'm pretty sure that isn't what caused the release delay.

Where are you getting this info from?
You sure it wasnt to fix a broken shooting mechanic? Games get delayed constantly, on all platforms and by all publishers.

from kotaku.com
"Asked whether one console in particular was the root of the problem, Zelnick diplomatically responded that "I know there have been rumors in the marketplace about frame rate and some other issues. We don't think it's helpful or beneficial to go into exact details of what the technological issues are. We're pushing the envelope on both the platforms."

maybe all the 360's at rockstars studio got RROD and they had to start all over :P
