Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Did New Super Mario Bros. Wii hit 10 million in 7 weeks after all?

Naum on 15 January 2010

Japans 7th week numbers haven't been added yet has it?



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

This was adjusted up again? Because of NPD?


I wonder if/when Modern Warfare 2 PS3 will be adjusted up.

In looking at NPD, NSMBWii appears to have outsold MW2 on the Xbox 360 and PS3 COMBINED in the month of December.
Admittedly, those games were released in November -- but so was NSMBWii.
But still, Reggie's boast may come true in US/NA.
And the worldwide numbers are crushing.

Mike from Morgantown

for those interested NSMBWii would have to outsell CoD by over 1.6m in January alone. I don't think that is going to happen due to the massive dropoffs in sales. With 4 weeks in January that would mean NSMBWii would have to sell 400k/week and CoD would have to stop selling which won't happen.


 NPD Nov NPD Dec Total
NSMBWii 1.39 2.82 4.21
CoD X360 4.2 1.63 5.83
CoD PS3 1.87 1.12 2.99

I still don't recall his bet being in NA only!

Tehsage, it is industry standard protocol that any references you make regarding your company is limited to your territory only.

If you check any PR, public statement, speech, etc..from executives you'll note that from a legal standpoint they can only discuss details relevant to their corporate territory unless they expressly state circumstances involving other areas relative to different branch offices.

While Reggies bet was merely banter with someone else, the context would still have ground itself within those legal guidelines.

Therein, Reggie meant the US.

He said January NPD, it can't get more USA only than that

Why does this even matter anymore?

NSMBW already outsold MW2 on a single platform in the US, consistent with what Reggie said. This overpublicised bet was over weeks ago.

If we're about to launch into another 'what did Reggie mean when he said' argument, it should be taken to another thread and not undermine what this thread is about.

it doesn't matter, but it is interesting. Why does X360 vs PS3 matter more than this when obviously publishers don't care about total install base or they would be putting FFXIII, CoD, and other high profile titles on Wii.
