Forums - Sales - Reggie: Modern Warfare 2 may have trouble maintaining sales while NSMB Wii will sell consistently

It may seem impossible to think New Super Mario Bros will outsell Modern Warfare 2 but consider the following

 

Mario Kart Wii outsold Call of duty 4 by a large margin and it released a year later as opposed to the same time here

 

New Super Mario Bros DS outsold Mario Kart DS by nearly 4 million copies. If New Super Mario Bros Wii can outsell Mario Kart Wii it will have astonishing numbers

 

New Super Mario Bros in hugely popular in Japan while Modern Warfare 2 will be lucky to sell 300k lifetime sales

Oh boy, is this really news to anyone?

Mario games are a staple for Wii owners, they just don't care enough to grab it on day one.

Weird that he's picking a beef with a game that poses no threat to either side, i mean people who enjoy shooters will pick up cod, wii owners will purchase mario, no need for him to be starting a war over nothing.

OMG, i know he may be right, but seriously Reggie, STFU, im sick of your comments reggie

I think people are focusing on him too much.

As a rep for Nintendo console, It's pretty natural for him to question a third party game's (without featuring first party mascots) ability to sell.

at least he isn't talking about the bet anymore. it takes a real man to hide when it is obvious that the battle is lost.

You're saying Price isn't a mascot!?!?!

He's like THE face of Infinity Ward developed Call of Duty games :P

MW2 is like one of those big-budget summer Hollywood movies. It had a gigantic opening week, and the next few will be pretty damn big, too, but it'll flame out faster because it's sales will be more 'front-loaded' (but it will obviously still sell a boatload before that happens!)



Bah!

Still, he's no FIRST PARTY mascot... although I'm sure it would sell a lot better if it had Master Chief as the main character. ;)

Ail on 14 November 2009

Less than a week after making a prediction he's already trying to back out of it......



PS3-Xbox360 gap : 1.5 millions and going up in PS3 favor !

PS3-Wii gap : 20 millions and going down !

Ail on 14 November 2009

I mean seriously, what the heck does he even have to talk to say such banalities.
It's not because MW2 sold 7 million units day one that anyone expect it to sell 7 million units every day from now on........

CoD 4 didn't have a problem.

So MW2 is going to sustain millions in sales?

 

Did COD4 sell 7 million its first week?
