I don't know, Rock, there were many people trumpeting NSMB as being Gigantic, lol. Rol comes to mind and Avinash also was one of those who said the game would be huge.
But on the other hand even Famitsu put NSMB at what 2.5m LTD? It's already there in less than a month lol. So that says a lot. But even the most optimistic person probably didn't see Japan's NSMB performance being this incredible.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
