Well, your positiveness is in vain, I'm afraid.

Gears of War sells 3 million in 10 weeks.

TP tops 1 million in 3 months.


And TP had the advantage of being a launch title, too.

That's true, sometimes an exception like some licensed game tops the charts, but any gamer worth his salt knows what games are crap and what games aren't.

And sure, I don't know all 21 million Wii owners. Only a ****ing idiot would hold that fact against me. I'm not God. But when every Wii owner I know well has his console sitting in his room gathering dust, that tells me something.
