This bet is unbelievably simple, the only way you can get it wrong is if you choose to ignore words in the very video where it's from. The bet is - outselling MW2 on 360 in the Americas before the end of January - which sadly, it probably won't be doing. So Reggie loses his bet, but NSMBWii is a sales monster and will easily beat MW2s lifetime, probably across both platforms combined. |
Again, this is the direct quotation from the interview. No 360, no Americas.

"Modern Warfare 2 is on two platforms. On a single platform...absolutely. I say that unequivocally. On one particular platform, I do believe so. You've got to give me the entire holiday selling season, so let's take it all the way through the January NPD data. ...It's going to be close. Modern Warfare is a a great title. As a gamer, I look forward to it. The new Modern Warfare, I think is going to be a fantastic title. Not to discount it, it will sell well. Of course I'll play it...I play all the content out there." |

NPD data = americas.
And at the end Geoff says "On the 360?" and Reggie replies "I do believe so".

The NPD data is required for WW sales too, so obviously either comparison could only happen "after the NPD data comes in"
The ending is exactly the reason why it is not "unbelieveably simple", many would say that it was "so it will sell more?..." "I believe so!" "... on the 360!"
