New Super Mario Bros was heavily bundled though wasn't it?

MW2 was bundled that holiday and after, on two consoles.

NSMBWii wasn't bundled until 2010... well after 20m sold.


MW2 was bundled? Really?

Is this like the MW3 bundle which is a limited edition and didn't move any more then a couple hundred thousand?

You mentioned bundles.

MW2 during holiday 2009 had special edition bundles with 360 and other typical holiday bundles with both consoles. I simply answered your question. Its not my fault COD can't outsell Mario.

SuperChunk, you are awesome. Rol... eh... you would be more awesome if you put a Piplup in your Avatar but, alas, you are still quite the "cool kid." Both of you should take on Pachter since Rol already seems to guess things before he even thinks about them.

Requesting other people to change their avatars is so 2010:

Btw, that's the avatar in question:

LOL! Looks like I got my Cult Needs from my Mother's Side!

did you make the same prediction for MW3?


It had no big game to compare against at the same time, how could I?


or since....

lol, how cute your love for such a mediocre game....

Love? Bores the shit out of me, check my post history.   I have owned it for months but can't get into it all. You clearly agree with me given your overly sensitive response. 

So then I am completely lost as to your comments in this stack.

Many games get unofficially bundled. The MW2 bundles however, were limited. Couldn't have sold more than 100-200k 360s.
New Super Mario Bros however was HEAVILY bundled at different points in its life time such as https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR9LPepnYviENSfFr_pvYVww3PWgzS7iqyYWZxUbnJ-SXjpiQEVew and http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/10/redwii1021.jpg

yes NSMB outsold MW2. Congratulations. Does that make you feel better about the Wii?

I don't like reading pro-Nintendo statements.

Why is that?

or since....

I just don't like Nintendo.

lol, how cute your love for such a mediocre game....

You could simply stay out of pro-Nintendo threads then.

Love? Bores the shit out of me, check my post history.   I have owned it for months but can't get into it all. You clearly agree with me given your overly sensitive response. 

If only it was that easy.

So then I am completely lost as to your comments in this stack.

Ah, I see.

Translations in italics.


Now it all makes sense.

lol at your desperate attempts to make MW2 seem greater than 2D Mario.

First off, the prediction was for Holiday 2009 that stemmed from a qoute from Reggie and this thread was just me gloating that I (and Reggie) was nearly the only one to get it right.

Second...
1) Time frame is only considering Holiday 2009.
2) NSMBWii was not bundled in these 1.5months.
3) MW2 was bundled in these 1.5months.
4) MW2 had more than 3 TIMES the number of pre-orders and a day one that broke records.
5) MW2 was on a larger user base with PS360.
6) MW2 had special edition 360s.
7) NSMBWii easily outsold MW2 on either console as I predicted.

Third... LTD related bundles ... WHO THE FUCK CARES?!

Facts are that like Mario Kart decimating the might GTA4 earlier, NSMBWii beat up on COD.

This thread wasn't about me feeling better about an underpowered console that destroyed its competition with no 3rd party support, it was about me being right all the damn time over you whiners.

Those bundles were very late into NSMBWii's lifespan.
