@Nordlead: He was asked if he meant the 360 version, and he said he did. USA only though.

funny, I've heard it both ways from various people

If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

sheesh, people screw up the Reggie thing so badly (myself included). It was 1 version of MW2 (not specified) in the US only.

I haven't checked, but I get the impression that Reggie never mentions a version (just 1 version, like you say), but the guy interviewing him only ever mentions the 360 version, and since Reggie agreed to the bet after that the inference is that the bet was over the 360 version. Course this confusion allows both sides an easy get out if they lose one side of the bet but win the other ;)

The text quoted in the article linked above says only 1 version, with NPD through January. I haven't seen the whole interview, but I also heard from a lot of people that the interviewer tried to get him to commit to the X360 version, but he kept on refusing.

People like to say that, but... I haven't double-checked, I only saw it the one time, but I can pretty much swear that Geoff Keighley finalized the bet as "So NSMBWii will outsell Modern Warfare 2, single-platform, on the Xbox 360, by the end of January in the US?" and Reggie just went "Yes."

Geoff: "You're on a single platform."

Reggie: "Absolutely. I say that unequivically."

Geoff: "You're going to sell more copies of New Super Mario Bros. Wii then Modern Warfare will on the 360. Just on the 360?"

Reggie: "On one particular platform,"

Geoff: "Just on the 360?"

Reggie: "I do believe so. Now, you have to give me the entire holiday selling season. So lets take it all the way trough the January NPD data. I'll take that bet."
