So Geoff started talking to Reggie about ModernWarFare2 and questioning him about the over whelming success its supposed to achieve. We all know of the recent bet here on VGChartz the bet that NSMBW will reach 11 million in year one sales. Well Reggie was up to betting that NSMBW is actually going to out perform one version of the ModernWarFare2 release. Geoff specifically mentions the 360 version and Reggie says if we count the holiday sales through January of both titles that NewSuperMarioBrosWii will actually outsell ModernWarFare2 on 360. Lets just be clear on this. As of right now pre-order sales of ModernWarFare2 Versus Pre-orders of NewSuperMarioBros:Wii are as follows! ModernWarFare2 (360) - 1,714,204 ModernWarFare2 (PS3) - 650,396 NewSuperMarioBros:Wii - 403,276
Do you think Reggie bit off alittle more then he can chew. I mean the 360 version of ModernWarFare2 is over quadroople Mario! Is it even possible for NewSuperMarioBros to beat ModernWarFare on PS3 who is one third larger in pre-orders? Whats your thoughts can the Regginator succeed in his bet? |
@ bolded. wow. all i have to say to that is lol.
on topic.. yea, using preorder numbers to determine overall sales... wow.
instead of explaining why thats a stupid assumption, im just going to take you back to april 0f 2008.
it was a quaint time.
full of talk of what is the greatest game this generation... GTAIV
everybody was shitting their pants, i worked the midnight release, that was huge!!
two days later.
mario kart Wii midnight release
*crickets chirping*
yea, i went to the midnight release.. i was one of like three or four people there.
but what happened?
oh, not much, just got 15 mil in less than a year.
conclusion:
preorders dont mean shit.
