The whole bet was a mess to begin with. The interviewer asked if NSMBWii will outsell MW2. Reggie said yes, on one console, by the time January NDP comes in (not making it obvious if he actually meant USA sales or not). The interviewer than shouted "THREE SIXTY!!!!" and Reggie didn't comment on it.

So, the bet is about NSMBWii outselling MW2 on _____ console, in ____ region, by the end of January.

No.

The interviewer said "On the 360?". Reggie then said "I do belive so..."

To be fair, the interviewer interjected with '360?' while Reggie was speaking mid-sentence. It is debateable just what Reggie was saying 'I do believe so' to. That is why it is being endlessly debated now.

The bet stipulated by Reggie was 'a single platform' 'by the time January NDP comes in'.

I don't see why it's so hard to accept....

We really need December's NPD data before we can know. vgchartz data for MW2 or NSMBWii could be wildly off. Taking the current numbers as gospel is a big mistake.

Neither do I.

When asked directly if he meant the 360, he re-iterated 'on one particular platform', when interrupted mid-sentence he was saying 'on one particular platform, I do believe so.'

^Thanks for the link, just watched. Increible how this "bet" is wasting our time!!

If you are a Nintendo fan, you can make the case that he was saying a single platform (probably thinking of PS3 as that would be the easist version to outsell) before the interviewer brought up the 360 out of nowhere and then Reggie didn't counter cleraly in one way or the other.

If you aren't a Nintendo fan, than you will obviously feel Reggie was clear and said "I do believe so" to the 360 bet.

I'm rather a Ninty fan so I feel he was kinda tricked into the specific refernce to the 360 but Reggie didn't clarify. So be it.

NSMBWii is selling great and showing great legs (amazing in Japan and good in the rest of the world) whilst MW2 sold great (biggest launch ever I believe) and still showing great legs (though I haven't been following as closely).

Let's leave it a that

PS: Yes I just wasted my time saying that this is a waste of time...

No.

The interviewer said "On the 360?". Reggie then said "I do belive so..."

They spoke these lines at the same time, it wasn't clear if he Reggie was answering the previous question, and the interviewer caught him mid-sentence with "threesixty", or if Reggie reacted really quickly to "threesixty" and answered before the interviewer finished the sentence. 

 

Anyways, as I said the whole thing was a mess, as it wasn't supposed to be any serious "bet", just all gaming sites presented it as big news "Reggie Is Making Bets About NSMBWii Sales"
