Mario Kart Wii will own the GTA game. Mario Kart as always been a very good seller, and I mean very good. Mario Kart DS is still ful price and still sells like hot cakes. Nothing is simular.

Except the fact we ride some sort of car.

i dissagree with blue ew... i think the games cater to different people... gta will surly pullt he 360 and ps3 crowd were as the nintendo fan boys or people that just want a all around battle royal on go karts will choose mario kart... i for one.. since i own a wii will be getting mario kart... but don't think i wont be over at a friends house checking out gta... lets just hope they got away from the second engine... the original gta engine was the best... ran smoother...

Yeah I wish I had an XBox 360 or PS3 for the new GTA. San Andreas was cool, but this has much better features. The only thing I heard that I didn't like was that it would all be city and there wouldn't be random desert for me to ride my dirt bike around and take off cliffs.

I'm definitely purchasing GTA.

And Blew Ew, what are on? Seriously, I want to know. GTA is a very successful franchise, and I'm not too sure how Mario Kart will "own" GTA.

just got mario kart for wii last night and is amazing and alot more fun than the old mario karts... the online play is great, its based on time so even if you appear due to connection to be behind you may actually place above someone else... i've yet to experience unrealistic play like this yet... gotta love the red turtle shells...

I stick with my statement. Mario will own GTA. The old Mario games still sell for full price here in the UK. After a while games drop. Mario Kart DS as still not gone down in price.

GTA has already outsold Mario.

Obviously the 360 fans will get GTA, and the Wii fans will get Mario Kart.

I guess we will just have to wait and see whcih actually makes more sales. Do you know what would be fun? Seeing Mario on PS3/Xbox.
