Just pointing out the facts

On a single platform, absolutely. I say that unequivocally. On one particular platform, I do believe so. You’ve got to give me the entire holiday selling season, so let’s take it all the way through the January NPD data. It’s going to be close. Modern Warfare is a a great title. As a gamer, I look forward to it. The new Modern Warfare, I think is going to be a fantastic title. Not to discount it, it will sell well. Of course I’ll play it. I play all the content out there.” It'll outsell MW2 PS3 in the US. Just accept the fact that Reggie was totally being cocky, went out of his way to make this prediction, put everything on the line on his being right, and will now get to have it rubbed in his face for the rest of eternity.

I honestly think he could still be right. Not likely, but also not the open and shut case everyone seems to think it is.

Yeah but it also goes the other way. Vgc could be wrong in both black friday and total sales. People assume that there must be something wrong with the NPD numbers when it does not go the way they hoped/planned. If the numbers were released lets say Wii, 1.1m, 360 600k and PS3 say 900k, people would not question it.

Personally i think its like that guy on gaf said, maybe people got caught up in the ps3 momentum and assumed because it had been doing so well that it would continue to do well. While the 360 had sort of declined by about 30% or so, so assume that decrease must continue.

A 25k a week difference is pretty huge.

Sony needs to move heaven and earth to get PSP2 (w/MH3P) really for next fall.  It's almost like a dead platform at this point.

well I have tried to explain this to him on his wall

it seems that he thinks the games library alone should make PS3 win & he thinks SONY doing so much hasn't paid off

but I'm seeing Ps3 sales up YOY by over 100%, so SONY did something right somewhere & effects have taken place

Dec. NPD will be another interesting numbers if 360 can outsell the PS3 on the biggest holiday season then USA is a lost cause for the PS3.

How about a video ? http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/gametrailers-tv/77?ch=1&sd=0 Geoff or whatever his name is mentions the 360 Twice and Reggie agrees both times. Let's not back peddle just yet ;) Huh? The quote I posted is from the vid. Reggie says one particular platform but Geoff moved the goalposts to the 360. Listen to it again.

He says 360 TWICE and Reggie replies I DO BELIEVE SO

Clear enough ?

but it's so typical for console warriors here to spin spin spiiiiiiiin

NPD dropped the balls on this one, VGC said the PS3 sold better = P

I also tried

Hard to really combat something in its best territory, $100 cheaper... With the biggest SW launch of all time

Maybe, maybe not. My point is I really don't think he cares much about his "prediction," judging from how it was extracted out of him. That makes me amused that some folks are so delighted that he's going to be wrong. Which, in fairness, he still may be. Call of Duty games have pretty damned good legs recently.
