No need, believe me. To steal a phrase from Frank, yes its debateable but it'd be like arguing with a piece of furniture and I don't want to argue with my table. You HD people are like zombies. Seriously.Boombloxer said:

It's pretty reasonable to expect NSMB Wii to outsell MW2... in the long-run. In fact, its almost guaranteed that, based on Mario Kart Wii and NSMB's sales, NSMB Wii is going to eventually come out on top.
But wow, that's a pretty risky bet made by Reggie. I can see NSMB selling more than the top-selling version of MW2 in December and January, but its November sales are going to be sincerely overshadowed.
It's going to have a lot to catch up to, and it's surely going to be a close race.

There's an ongoing argument whether this gme will be like MKWii or ACWii.
Should be interesting either way.
I'm frankly amazed at how many posters here on NeoGAF are actually being rational about this statement and thinking it through before posting. Only a couple of you said really stupid things.
There is almost no way NSMB Wii doesn't outsell the PS3 version of MW2 over the holiday period. Outselling both and the PC version is also almost entirely impossible with just US sales figures. Beating just the 360 is unlikely but not impossible over two and a half months, but lifetime is more than feasible, and given the track record of the previous 2D game besting the worldwide sales on all platforms over the span of a year or two is almost inevitable.
If a game is launched by Nintendo on a Sunday it is guaranteed to sell multiple millions this gen. This game is released on a Sunday.

What's the argument? It's a 2D Mario.velvet_nitemare said:

Ok, that still doesn't mean that the NSMB Wii will. Last Mario game sold around 8 million on the Wii, which would equal the amount that MW1 sold on the 360, but not overall (14 million).
So we'll see.

Mario will outsell most games including MW2 for one reason alone. And that's because of the complete lack of anything really good to play on the Wii besides Nintendo's own. Its a safe purchase. Most games on the Wii are bad, any first party quality known franchise will sell since its a known commodity with very little competition from other third party Wii games.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I would never have believed 10 years ago that I would one day grow to despise Nintendo. But here I am... don't really even care about this comment in particular, I'm saying it's become kind of a general loathing. It's been a decade in the making, but now that I finally have that off my chest, carry on... I'm done.

Well, in a way they were pretty technology-happy before, the SNES had a lot better graphics and sound than the Sega Genesis, the N64 boasted a custom graphics processor developed in tandem with Silicon Graphics (that was nigh impossible to program, hence the therrible-looking games) and the Gamecube had quite a bit more power than the PS2 and was only narrowly outclassed by the Xbox. For its price and size, the Cube was a pretty damn impressive machine, it's amazing how quickly people forget this.stupei said:

Like I said, we'll see. PS3 sales will make his comment come true, but lifetime? Not so sure.

We also have to consider the Japanese market. NSMB Wii WILL outsell most Western games in Japan by massive amounts alone. MW2 will have to make up the difference in NA/Europe. If Reggie is talking worldwide by the end of the year, Mario will be the last guy standing

Wow, MW2 is gonna shit all over MW1 on both consoles. 360 version should easily do 2+ million, PS3 version should do 1+ million easily.
Like the hat?

I think people are overlooking the multiplayer draw of NSMBWii. Families are going to love this game.

Of course, but I have a wait and see attitude about this one.
If you disagree, hey, fine. We'll see what happens.

If you only want to talk in definite inevitabilities, then no, doesn't mean NSMB Wii will. Doesn't mean MW2 will sell beyond the pre-orders, but we both know that's not true.Boombloxer said:
We make predictions based on relatively good evidence. Absent a time machine, "It is probably going to do really well like the DS game" isn't a particularly outrageous claim, so you can stop with the "IT MIGHT NOT WHO KNOWS" chorus. You're right, maybe it won't! A meteor might crash on November 16th in Redmond. But we have good indications it will sell really well.

This is actually a pretty reasonable prediction, I think it can at least match the 360 version but will have a hard time matching all SKUs.
