More like the interviewer backed him into a corner asking him outright if he thought it would. What was he going to say, no?

Anyway, I never thought it would outsell it that soon, and I think most other reasonable people didn't either, though it no longer matters now, because in the end it had no trouble passing it up.

Are you saying Reggie isn't capable of backing out of a stupid "bet" before he says he believes it will happen?

And just to add. A LOT of people were saying it would do it after we saw 3/4 Weeks of sales from NSMB. I think if it's fair enough to laugh at the people who said it would never happen... Then it's just as fair to laugh at people who said it would happen within 3 Months.

But my point is, it's not like Reggie came up with that idea himself, he was sort of coaxed into it, and as the president of Nintendo, you probably aren't going to say anything negative about the Wii.

I don't believe Reggie even officially SAID that it would outsell the 360 version in 3 months. He only actually said that he believe it would outsell "a single console version of MW." (which it outsold the PS3 version in that time). The other guy was the one that asked about whether or not it would outsell the 360 version.
