He's not picking a beef. The guy who interviewed him on TV the other day kept asking him about COD4, and he kept saying "Yeah, that's a great title, it's going to be huge, I'm going to enjoy it myself." Reggie is actually a Call of Duty fan. And the guy kept saying "Oh yeah, well is it gonna do better than Mario, huh, huh, HUH???" And then finally Reggie went "Well MW2 is on multiple platforms... but Mario will outsell it on either platform alone." Which is obvious, and a safe bet. And the guy was like "REALLY REALLY ZOMG NO WAY!" so Reggie said "Yeah, but it'll probably take until the end of January." He was being really nice about it, and the whole internet is going crazy and focusing on one thing he said. He's definitely not going out of his way to start a war. But the guy interviewing him really went out of his way to get Reggie to make a bet against MW2. That quote is why most peopled watched the show online later. Still, if Reggie's wrong... it'll only take Mario until February or March at the absolute latest. And then Mario will sell for years and years and years, while Call of Duty gets a sequel. These are going to be 2 of the biggest games of the generation either way. |
Really? What kind of sales do you guys expect out of this game?
By March, that would leave 15 some odd weeks to sell more than 7m. Do you guys really figure more than 200k a week?
