Forums - Sales - NSMBWii vs GT5 (AKA I just made a bet, tell me if I'm an idiot)

Like the title says, I just made a bet with Riot Of The Blood that after counting the first 26 weeks in each region, NSMBWii will beat GT5 for WW total. 

Considering that NSMB on the DS has had astounding sales, and considering that it's Mario (!), and considering that the Wii is beating the PS3 more than two-to-one, I'm feeling pretty confident. 

...But then, ROTB is "almost 100% sure" on his side of things.  And it's true that SMG2 could conceivably steal some of NSMBWii's thunder. 

So who do you think will win?  Why?  And what evil things should we do to each other's avatars and sigs?  (Right now, he wants me to advertise Daphne Rosen (extremely large boobs), and I'm thinking of turning him into a Washu-bot*.)

I actually think it will be a pretty close contest... both games should have absoultely monster legs though!



Half a year? Well, it seems like a good bet. Close bet.

GT5 = Teh big fucking launch, great legs
NSMBWii = Good launch, amazing legs

I'm not sure if its legs will be able to outpace GT though.

Sorry, my mind was thrown off into a different tangent.

More like NSMB Wii will steal SMG 2-s thunder. 

 

NSMB Wiill be GIGANTIC!!! Bigger, better and more badass.

 



If Sony decided to bundle GT5 with every console sold you might have some problems :)
