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.

It stand a good chance, people keep saying this though as if it's set in stone.

and so we go back to the MKWii VS GTAIV comparison.

 

MW2 is selling much much faster than GTAIV and any other game released on HD. It's at 14 million already. Who knows where it'll end up? People like to claim Wii games have legs, but are you all forgetting about COD4's insane legs?

MKWII has only just crossed the 20 milion mark, and that's with the help of the Wii's 2 highest years in sales, so don't count on NSMB selling like MKWii did the year it was released.

Over time it's possible NSMB > MW2. More so than not, but it's not going to be anywhere near as quickly as MKWII > GTAIV.

 

and yes I know you didn't bring up MKWII VS GTAIV, I just wanted to bring it up.

All true, but I think it is all as finely balanced as with MKwii v GTAIV.

Yes, MW2 is selling faster than GTAIV but at the same time you forgot to point out that NSMBW is likewise selling faster than MKwii.

As I said earlier it will likely outsell MW2 but agree with you that it is not a given.

If my life however, depended on me making a call I what say yes, NSMBW will trump MW2.
