Forums - Sales - New Super Mario Bros Wii only 85K behind Moder Warfare 2 (PS3)

LordTheNightKnight on 18 December 2009

As of this chart: http://www.vgchartz.com/aweekly.php?date=40160

Now some of you might go "Reggie meant the 360 version."

In the video, Reggie does not actually say it's the 360 version. The guy interviewing just blurts it out in the middle of Reggie talking.

Of course January NPD is a while away, but it looks as though NSMBWii will outsell one version of MW2.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

and the finnuy thing is... Modern Warfare PS3 has one week of advantage

We already had a thread about this.

The biggest Wii game of the year outsells the biggest PS3 game of the year. I'd say it's pretty impressive for the PS3 that this is even considered an achievement!

It seems, by the end of January, it will outselly the 360 version too, by far.

^^worldwide but not in NA. Japan is a major difference in sales though

What's the big deal? It's eventually going to outsell both versions put together just like Mario Kart Wii did with GTA 4.

Exactly.

 



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

Reggie did take the bet on outselling the 360 version by the end of January in the USA only.

Bets with Conegamer:

Pandora's Tower will have an opening week of less than 37k in Japan. (Won!)
Pandora's Tower will sell less than 100k lifetime in Japan.
Stakes: 1 week of avatar control for each one.

Errr... OK:

1. Userbase difference much?
2. It's Mario!
3. It'll probably outsell the 360 version as well.
4. It would be more comparable to compare both HD versions to Mario as the userbases are closer and Activision gets money from both versions. Lifetime, it'll be a close batte I think.

Kind of strange we're celebrating a game like NSMB outselling Modern Warfare 2 on a system that has half the install base of the Wii.

Why are we making these kinds of strange comparisons? What about WiiFit+ or Wii Sports Resort? Are they not in the picture? Why are we using MW2 as a barometer for the weaker selling of the two? It is not like MW2 is two different games between either system.

Both MW2 and NSMB:Wii are doing great. We don't need to compare them in some odd attempt to make a system of choice look better - both are doing great.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
