I don't believe there is any way NSMBWii will beat Modern Warfare 2 on 360 in sales in the US, but it might worldide.

By January or LTD!?

NSMBW will destroy MW2 over the next year. Reggie is totally correct.

NSMBW is right up the Wii demographic alley -- its almost guaranteed to sell a zillion copies. The fact that its also awesome is just gravy.



 

See, I don't know about NSMBWii. Everything I hear about it talks about how hard it is. And, I think that lessens its appeal to casual market right there. Now, it's true that there is supposed to be an easy mode, but still I don't think a platform game will have the same kind of a appeal as a Kart racer which anyone can just jump into.  Also since it is a platformer it probably won't have the same replayability as a Kart racer either.

Most people who have Wii's tend to not pre-order them. If Nintendo ship as many as MW2, then it is possible.

Has anybody else noticed that Reggie is starting to get kind of cocky when it comes to Nintendo's numbers? I mean, understandable but he was relatively silent almost all of last year and this year he's already made little comments like this one (despite Wii numbers being down a lot from last year at this point) and the comment about PSP Go earlier this year having no real use (before the DSi XL was unveiled, which to me seems almost as "useless" as a PSP Go and sales for $100 more than the DS lite.) as well. Still nothing as bad as what the other companies say though.

I don't see how this was a problematic comment at all, though. If you watch the video, Geoff asks how the game will sell, "more than Modern Warfare 2?" Reggie ends up making a friendly bet out of it, and even ends up talking about how great Modern Warfare 2 will probably be.

Platformers like that have varied ways to go through. Those have loads of replay value.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Remember how the last time a similar thing happened, there was a lot of doubt from the gaming press?
