Now reggie can look even more smuck.

That could be difficult to achieve.

What!?! Already it outsold the PS3 version. It won't be long until it beats the 360 version

I think it's because of the confusion over the Reggie bet.  Some people claim that he just committed to NSMBWii versus either of the two HD platforms and according to that stance he won his bet this week. 

I heard the interview and I'm certain he committed to beating the 360 version in the US (implied because of reference to NPD) by the end of January, meaning the bet is still ongoing.

He said until the end of January?

I'm sorry, but it seems MW2 is finished.

The years most anticipated title on the Wii with a 60 million userbase outsold a multiplatform shooter on a 29 million installed base? It better have!

What I really want to know is; will it outsell Galaxy and by how much?

Current trends suggest it will do so considerably.

You were one of those who said that it would not significantly outsell Galaxy, yes?

I think it will sell more but I was mostly reacting to a thread we had where several users claimed it would sell 20 million or so or even more (maybe someone remembers the thread, I don't remember the name of it). I think I said something along the lines of; won't go past 15 under any circumstance and probably not more than 12 or so.

It was released at a perfect time for a solid launch and some good follow up weeks and it'll probably have good legs like all Nintendo 1st party titles but the claims of 20 million lifetime were ludicrous to me!

It should hit 15m no problem, and 20m isn't out of reach either. NSMBWii could do 9m by the end of the year (there is a thread on it), and then from there 2 full years on the market it only needs to manage 100k/week for 2 years.

Heck, Mario Kart Wii should pass 20m in 3 weeks time. I made a prediction last year that Wii Fit & Mario Kart could do 25m or more (obviously Wii Fit got chopped down by Wii Fit Plus, but otherwise I would have easily been correct) and NSMBWii could easily have a similar selling pattern to either of those games. Just comparing it to the DS version, it had a way bigger opening, and should be able to sustain similar sales over the long run. Since it had a bigger opening, it can achieve 20m in a shorter time with the same legs as NSMB DS.

He was fool enough for using NPD data

That really is not surprising.
