lol. whatever you say, khuutra. you obviously know what youre talking about.

Okay, okay, I'll take the bet. Sig control for a month. What are the specific terms, here?

well, if it hits 11 mil before november 15th, then you win and we can start there. otherwise we are going to have to wait until that week.

Okay. How about you put the bet in your sig? That way we won't forget.

alright i will n stuff n shit. may i remind you that only 2 games this entire decade have been able to achieve such a feat.

This is incorrect. Or well, flawed at the very least.

All of the following titles made it from the initial launch.

Mario Kart Wii - 15 million

Wii Sports - 12.6 million

Grand Theft Auto IV (Ps360): 12.6 million

Grand Theft Auto:San Andras (Ps2)-  12.15 million

Modern Warfare 2: 12 million (in 6 weeks) (Ps360)

Call of Duty 4 (Ps360): 11.1 million

 

Wii Fit did, in reality, make it too. It had a staggered launch with 6 months in difference between Japan and the rest of the world. If you're to use it as an indicator, this is bigger than Mario Kart Wii. You're cherry picking if you claim this didn't make it.

 

You can claim that multiplats are unfair, but I think that's silly. NSMB Wii has a larger userbase than they launched on, and less competition. It's also looking at a similarily large launch (launch counted as the first few weeks, not just the first week). 

 

Additionally, Wii Sports Resort is certain to make it in around 33 weeks from initial launch.
