That's bold considering MW2 is coming out. I definitely think NSMB will sell more, but I'm not so sure about over the holidays. |
If you combine the PS3 and 360 sales of Modern Warfare 1, it just barely surpasses the sales of Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, on Game Boy, from 1992. When 11 million people are willing to pay for a 2-D Mario platformer with 4 shades of cream spinach color, no multiplayer, no Yoshi, no motion controls, and no Koopa Kids, I find it hard to believe any FPS will be able to outsell New SMB Wii.
2-D Mario platformers are the reason there is an American video game market, so they are the reason we have tons of American FPS games. Before id Software made Doom, you know what they made? 2-D Mario platformers. They ported SMB3 to the PC, and asked Nintendo to let them release it. Nintendo was flattered and said it was a great port, but that they didn't want to make PC games at the time. So id changed it up into their first Commander Keen game, and the rest is history.
