haha no I don't have faith in the reviewing system :P You win this round.. *shakes fist*

I don't know, i think it will be closer than you think. as NSMBWII is being hailed as the savour of hardcore games on Wii, much like Mario Galaxy did a couple of years ago.

 

you might see disporportional amount of 10s

This.  The two games' launches are going to be a complete repeat of MKWii and GTAIV - the hardcore gamers will wet thems over the thought of MW2 "destroying the Wii," but at the end of the day, Mario will end up dominating MW2.

much like MKWii and GTAIV, MW2 will DESTROY in reviewing scores, giving cusomters who ended up buying it a great experience.

 

while NSMB will sell more in the end.

 

I think the question you have to ask yourself is... do you want a game that is better? or do you perfer to buy a game because more people bought it.

I want a game that is better and that's why I will buy NSMB Wii.

Back on topic : Nintendo predicted NSMB Wii to sell 10 million before end of March 2010. So 20 million LTD is more than probable.

Yeah definitely. But is it because they game is that great or because there's nothing else being released on Wii?

Don't start with this please.

Not a system seller.
Most people don't buy a system for only one game, they buy it for everything the system offers.

The exceptions to this are those games which more than make up for the cost, like wii fit, wii sports (which is wii fit without a balance board), or boom blox.

NSMBwii is IMHO the biggest release in the Wii's history no game will be bigger than a Mario with multiplayer capabilities it really is going to be huge. The game without multiplayer would sell by the millions but with it's going to be the biggest game after Wii Sports

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

Oh yeah! It's the Return of the King.

His Majesty will hopefully go on to be this gen's biggest seller excluding games that inc hardware (BB, Wii, Wiimote, M+, Wheel). He can do it I know he can.

I really hope NSMB becomes the fastest game to 10 million too. It's releasing at a good time to do it but can it beat San Andreas with an install base of 55M compared to 90M? It'll beat San Andreas in total sales eventually and could still be the fastest game to 20 million.

NSMB Wii, FF13 & MW2 will be big in the holidays

No, the real question is... do you want a game you would enjoy? Or do you prefer to buy a game because more reviewers praise it.

I'll probably end up with both games, but we already have Modern Warfare 1, so if I could only pick one, the choice is easy.

edit: Now that you mention it, GTAIV did "destroy" MKWii in reviews, yet so many people were disappointed by it.

Half of the people rushing out to get CoD get it solely because other people have it. Ironically, this and GTA are very casual games.
