That's my point, you're not going to see the legs of Halo 3 and GTA 4 on MW2, most of those legs were just up front sales on MW2

And I'm asking you why ?

Wasn't the hype of Halo 3 and GTAIV not high enough ? LOL

Well the reason I don't believe you'll see the same legs, is because of the sales of previous FPS's Halo 3 is the highest on a single console and MW1 is the highest combined, and neither gets anywhere near where you are saying MW2 will get, I could see maybe 15-17 Million LT sales for MW2, but when you say 20-26 million, it just doesn't seem likely, as they would have to beat pretty much every other FPS game on the PS3 and 360 and PC by a large margin to get there

It's highly likely that it will be the best selling 360 game and it's already guaranteed that it will be the best selling PS3 game. However on the PC it won't come close to the best selling FPS.

^NSMB may get a bundle at some point, but NSMB DS and Mario 3 weren't heavily bundled and they both sold well over 15 million

even if its the best selling, I don't see it being the best by millions, maybe at most 1-2 million, at best, but even then it wouldn't get anywhere near where you are expecting

Halo has currently 10.3m sales, GTAIV on PS3 5.9m and let's take a PC shooter like Crysis which sold about 2.5m.

Now add 1 million to Halo, 1 million to GTA and 0.5 million to Crysis and violá 21.5m and I personally think that's the lower end.

"Well Sherlock we're talking about the holidays here and Reggie's bet (which I think run through Jan 10 as well) and MW2 360 will win both."

Maybe you should take your own advice for once, and what does the title and the OP says ?? here I'll help "Holiday".


  Again, Reggie's comment is until the end of January, as I already pointed out, not january 10th, so you don't know what you're talking about, and again if you read the OP, BHR talks about Lifetime sales as well, so again you don't know what you're talking about

who is reggie wat bet did he make i dont c nsmb beating either ps3 or 360 mw2 sales by in of 09 or jan 10 2010

anyway yeah im asking if nsmb can beat mw2 in end of 09 on either ps3 or 360 or both and same for lifetime i dont think it well beat any version of mw2 in of 09 and not even lifetime ok maybe the ps3 version for lifetime

wats every1 thinking nsmb will sell lifetime i only see it gettin to 7-9mill im not really good at wii stuff like iam ps360 am i missing something?

we cant look at nsmb ds for nsmb wii sales i think the ds version was a success b/c its on a handheld i dont see the wii version selling like the ds version especially not in JP

why didnt smg reach 12-16m yet?

2D Mario and 3D Mario platformers are very different games. NSMB Wii will destroy SMG in sales, it always has been that way. 2D Mario platformers average at 15-20m, so that's a good start for a sales prediction.

You have to ask yourself if NSMB Wii could be like Mario Kart Wii when it comes to sales. It's possible.

yeah thats good id know nothing bout nintendo sales and 2d vs 3d i thought 3d was wat people wanted so i was just going by my tips section to come up with my prophicys

u could be right seeing smg 1st weeks sales in na it already looks like nsmb by the preorders will outdo smg

17 million lifetime? It will probably sell that much before year's end. 25 million is likely. It'd have to be the most front loaded game ever to not at least double its first week sales.

The only way NSMB will match it is if it sells 5m+ in Japan.

GTA 4 isn't an FPS, the highest FPS is MW1 at 4.7 million, so expecting 6.9-7 million for MW2 on PS3 is unlikely, so yeah, so more like 5-5.5 million for MW2 on PS3 , and maybe 11 million for MW2 on 360, suddenly you're getting around 17 million combined
