Ask yourself: If MW2 was on a single-platform, say X-BOX, would it have reached 15m that fast?

By the way, why don't we combine platforms of New Super Mario Bros? DS Wii = 35 million. Wow. Best selling game EVAR.

(and this works since everyone says the Wii version is just a DS port as you know)

Again weak, just because they have the same title doesn't mean they're the same game.

MW2 PS360 are the same game.

It's not weak its just not the results your stamping your feet about.

Pick a single platform and and add up the sales

That sounds like something you're doing actually. Making excuses to get the result you want. You have to add single platform, I don't. I can say GAME.

I know The Source is a big fan of the Wii and not so much the HD, but MW2 is A game, and it reached 15 million in 8 weeks, much faster than NSMB

VGChartz lists games according to separate SKUs. It's the fastest single SKU to ever hit 15 million.

That's all there is.

The Pokemon games are not seperated.

The Call of Duty games are.

I don't take responsibility for the way the site presents its sales, I just point out that The Source is being consistent here.

@Seece:

This is not a debate. No part of this topic can be called a "debate".

Yeah, the masses would not agree with this if they were informed, "game" doesn't equal "sku".  MW2 did it first.  If you wanna say on one console, it should be included to prevent any confusion.

 

@Khuutra, he may be consistent with his data, but that means his method of data display is encouraging falsehoods in reporting.

They don't even have the same title.

I agree with you guys, except most people say the Wii verison is just a clone of the DS verison with better graphics.

However, does not change the fact that I think the title should of been quickest exclusive game to sell to 15million.

Well I see it differently, let's leave it at that.

It's a fantastic feat. Though I can't think of why we'd look at MW2 as seperate games.

Anyhow, I really don't care. If it's to be treated as the fastest selling game to some arbitrary number, so be it.

Ya,


NSMB - Fastest exclusive to 15 million

MW2 Fastest game to 15 million

 

That basically sums it up.

NSMBWii 1 platform

 

MW 360,ps3 two platforms

Wii 72m

PS3 35m and 360 40m

so what about having two platforms for one game and one platform for another make it unfair when they have comparable user bases?  What is the actual argument, and not just "2 platforms is unfair" but tell me why.

Doesn't matter, same game.

Modern Warfare 2 got to 15 million the fastest.

Right, so the news title misleads. Sums it up.
