Sebastian predicts that although the PS3 and Xbox 360 received a strong hardware sales bump from GTA IV, the PS3 has another one incoming with Metal Gear Solid 4 in June. He states that it's hard to determine what sales in the second half of 2008 look like compared to 2007, but believes the summer months (weak for revenue, even just a few years back) will continue to see strong retail numbers with Wii Fit, Rock Band Wii, MGS4 and movie-based games.

If you fake dermatologist visits to get out of yard work, we may have to talk. lol
Sat AM is my game time as well. Sun hits side of house causing such a bad reflection that I cant play until 8pm otherwise.

It's been making it really tough on gta4. There's some games that need total darkness to play.....

GTA4 require pretty much absolute darkness, and even then I still can't see what I'm doing in alley's.

I dont know about you guys but I've tweaked my contrast and brighness setting in the games menu and I get pretty good lighting. I wouldn't play in the default settings. It doesn't look good enough like that. Check it out.

Buy a monitor with a high contrast ratio so that black looks black even when the other colors are nice and bright. Playing in darkness is bad for the human eyes. I get headaches and blurry eyes from doing that so I usually have a light on.

I predict that Wii fit will be the next Wii Sports/Wii Play and will sell out around the country to casual gamers everywhere much to the chagrin of real gamers who continue to watch their market directing dominance dissapear into history.
I also predict Fanboys will Fan, Flameboys will flame and closeted lawyers will continue to attack the game industry and ambulance chase.

at $90, I think your wrong
Your second paragraph, however, is indisputably accurate

@pojo
You really don't think wii fit will sell out? I'm sure it will be a top seller for quite some time.
PojoMofo @ May 13th 2008 4:32PM
I think the initial shipment might sell out, but it will not be on the NPD top ten list every week like Wii Play or not be able to find one in stores like the Wii

Shag is correct up until the last sentence where he shows he has no idea what he's talking about. Again.
Whether you like the game or not, you can't deny that this game is going sell crazy in North America.
