Can New Super Mario Bros. Wii Outsell Modern Warfare 2?

Kombo.com: Nintendo President Reggie Fils-Aime said on GameTrailers TV that he thinks the upcoming New Super Mario Bros. Wii can outsell the massively anticipated Modern Warfare 2 under certain circumstances. He said this while also giving respect to the competing game.

In an interview with GTTV host Geoff Keighly, Fils-Aime said that he thinks New Super Mario Bros. Wii can outsell a single SKU of Modern Warfare 2 by the end of January 2010. "On a single platform...absolutely," said Fils-Aime. "I say that unequivocally."

"You've got to give me the entire holiday selling season," said Fils-Aime. "Let's take it all the way through the January NPD data." This is probably taking into account the nature of the sales of Nintendo's successful first party games.

Of course it can. 360 fans like bragging about sales, but what they don't realize is the Wii's games sell a LOT more. Halo 3 is nothing compared to the Wii's best sellers.

TheBest5294d ago (Edited 5294d ago )

The Halo franchise isn't in the top 35 highest selling franchises in the world, and none of the Halo games are in the top 25 highest sold games in the world.

Halo has a loooong way to go before it tops the Wii first party games (in terms of sales).

MW2 should sell good, but it won't top NSMBW by a long shot. Too many casuals will buy it.

u gotta know this generation is mostly about being online, so very likely ppl will b playin this game more than mario, n Mario will see more returned copies to game shops, games that are very much multiplayer will be played more than mario, trust me dude, Mario is more played on the NES, SNES and N64 than on the Wii!!!!

InLaLaLand5294d ago

That Reggie guy is a jabroni. Does anyone remember his rant about the PSP Go? LOL Now look at what Nintendo are doing again, oh the irony. Releasing another DS with a bigger screen (not that big but you get my drift) I still own the original DS and a flash cart for pirating games :) As for both games, they look like rehash products.

Tito085294d ago (Edited 5294d ago )

its alright, he's just a guy who knows he likes to brainwash the kids market with mario, Zelda and Pokemon, I don't care if it sells more than call of duty, but I'm sure more people are gonna return those mario games while the call of duty ppl will still be playin MW2 for its replay value and lasting appeal!!!!

Mario might sell more, but it won't be played more than MW2, that's for sure!!!!

asdr3wsfas5294d ago

5 or 10 years from now there won't be one person playing MW2 and people will still speed run New Super Mario Bros. The dolphin emulator makes it extremely likely level editing and general hacking communities will pay attention to this game for years, particularly the Mario AI communities trying to expand their methods to controlling 4 players at once cooperatively.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood270d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G270d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade269d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality269d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator268d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G269d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85270d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai270d ago (Edited 270d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G270d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo270d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg270d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast269d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
