Just a small point but to get the WW figures he would still need the NPD ones. I think that by being vague enough he had lots of outs. We all know that NSMBWii will eventually outsell combined PS3 and 360 MW2 sales anyway.

This.

Reggie was trying to keep the bet as open as possible so that although the whole 'I say this unequivocally' sounded like BIG CHAT, the terms of the bet remained vague making it less likely he could lose. The interviewer tried to pin him down more but he didn't do it.

It was a PR stunt after all, to keep NSMBW in the news. And it worked.
