new SMB Wii vs Modern Warfare 2

[BreakABone]

This isn't a thread to say which game is better or anything of the sorts.

Just wanted to see where GT told.

On last week's GameTrailers TV, Reggie declared that he believed new Super Mario Bros Wii will outsell Modern Warfare 2 during the holiday season. (I originally thought he meant combined, but it seemed like he meant the 360 version)

Now just for historical reasons, this is the numbers from 2 years ago when Galaxy went head to head with the original Modern Warfare.

November 2007 Top 10 Video Games Rank # Units
360 CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE ACTIVISION (CORP) NOV 2007 MATURE (M) 1 1.57 million
WII SUPER MARIO GALAXY NINTENDO OF AMERICA NOV 2007 EVERYONE (E) 2 1.12 million
PS3 CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE ACTIVISION (CORP) NOV 2007 MATURE (M) 7 444K

And the following Dec,

Top 10 SW Sales
360 CALL OF DUTY 4: MODERN WARFARE ACTIVISION (CORP) NOV 2007 MATURE (M) *1 1.47 million
WII SUPER MARIO GALAXY NINTENDO OF AMERICA NOV 2007 EVERYONE (E) 2 1.40 million

So it was fairly close back then, but of course CoD MW for 360 won out.

In the two years that have passed, Modern Warfare's popularity has increased greatly, and will of course sell like gangbusters out of the gate.

Mario always does well, but will being 2D... help or hinder sales. Also, why the 4 player co-op help to sell more copies of the game... in a Wii Sports sort of way.

So Mario vs Modern Warfare 2... the holiday juggernaunt, who wins?
