MW2 or NSMB Wii? Which will sell more end of 09 and lifetime?

Yeah. I wasn't going to say anything for fear of unholy wrath, but I just don't see Modern Warfare 2 having such incredibly high sales in such a short period of time. 13 million in the first couple months and then only 5 million more over the course of its lifetime (which, as shown by Call of Duty 4, can last up to 2 years or more)?

Well for it to be possible, we'd have to figure it to have anywhere from a 5-6 million opening week. That's a big, big week. That's probably big enough to be the biggest opening week individually for each console.

Well that's the funny thing. Even if it did have the biggest launch ever (somewhere around 6 million) which isn't impossible, it would also need to sell over a million every week for the rest of the year (combined). But on the other hand, I expect ioi to come back and bitch slap us later anyways.

It seems unlikely, but funnily enough for the first time, not totally out of the question. That says a lot about this series.
