| daveJ said: The terms of the bet are so damn confused that I think everybody should just forget it entirely. No theyre not "Absolutely. I say that unequivocally," Reggie said in response to host Geoff Keighley's question of whether New Super Mario Bros. Wii could outsell Modern Warfare 2 even on a single platform. "On one particular platform? I do believe so." Keighley clarified that he meant it would sell more than on 360, and Fils-Aime agreed. "Now, you've got to give me the entire holiday selling season," he continued. "So let's take it all the way through the January NPD data. I'll take that bet." He did agree, though, that it will be a close fight. Reggie said super mario bros wii will sell more than xbox360 MW2 according to NPD data November, December, January Current numbers (November only) 360 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 . 4.20 million WiiNew Super Mario Bros. 1.39 million So NSMBWii has to sell and extra 2.81million units over the December and Janurary NPDs to win the bet, Its certainly possible though I wouldn't put money on it |
Oh, they're not confused? Then why is it that why every time this subject comes up, we have people saying Reggie said one thing, others who claim he said another thing, and still others who say that it's open to interpretation? Some people aren't even clear on whether we're looking at US sales or worldwide sales, or whether 'January NPD' means the December data released in January or the January data released in February.
Looks like the definition of confusion to me. Seems like no matter what happens, everybody will find an excuse to claim victory.
