Hey Final-Fan you wanna join in on the bet that is almost final between me and zexen? you can choose which side are you?

I don't have any good feel for how MW2 will do, nor how WF+ will do at its launch, so I don't want to take that bet at this time. 

But yeah, if you only meant "align launches" for the regions and add them like 'first 8 weeks MW2 in EUR + first 8 weeks MW2 in NA etc. etc.' then I agree it should be done that way.

Since when we have a bet and it's almost final? I was just asking terms. Where did I say I'd take it?

The bet is almost put into concrete terms, then you can accept or decline.

See above:  no, I decline on grounds of ignorance.

I don't get your new bet offer so can you explain it a little better or do you mean to say that instead of WW sales for 2 months for games  we have one specific region that we decide on for sales for 2 months? If so then yes the bet i agree on

 

So then it would NSMBWii + Wii Fit Plus (2months, one region (decide)) > GT5 + MW2 (2 months, one region(same as other)

stipulation you can choose except no ban.,.....

stipulation you can choose except no ban.,.....

What I'm talking about, and what I think zexen was talking about, was like this: 

Let's say you ask how much PS3 sold after 1 year WW. 
Well, do you mean literally how many did it sell up to 1 year after the first launch in the first region? 
Or do you mean (1 yr since launch in NA sales) plus (1 yr since launch in EUR sales) plus (1 yr since launch in JPN sales)

The difference would be several months' worth of EUR sales, since the PS3 launched later there. 

So I think the better way to do your bet would be the second way:
MW2(2mosE)+MW2(2mosJ)+MW2(2mosN)+GT5(2mosE)+GT5(2mosJ)+GT5(2mosN)
versus
NSMBWii(2mosE)+NSMBWii(2mosJ)+NSMBWii(2mosN)+WF+(2mosE)+WF+(2mosJ)+WF+(2mosN)

(MW2(2mosE) = first 2 months' worth of Modern Warfare 2 sales in Europe)

But in any case I don't feel like taking the bet, so you can do whatever way you like.

No, he said you have to pick one (PS3 OR 360). 

Obviously it would still be the PS3 version of GT5 either way
