Sorry, but it will outsell both versions of MW2. It will take several months (at its current rate it will overtake MW2 in about September or October), perhaps all year, but it will eventually overtake MW2.

Right now it is 4.72m behind & sold 134k more last week than both MW2 combined.

Once and for all: Reggie was speaking of one version (probably 360) in one region after NPD data (so probably Americas). NSMBW outsold PS3 version in every region, and WW also X360 version. But it has not yet outsold X360 version in the Americas.

Great sales in America continue but no surprise. Starting to finally get bigger shipments of this game at the Gamestop I work at but selling out of those as well (although not as fast). Were getting shipments of about 10-15 but now about 20 at a time.

Also I think what we've noticed for others is even though it isn't a colossal hit in the UK (although still big) the rest of the European and Other regions it seems to be that big hit haha. Can't really judge the NSMB Wii sales totally off UK charts which is unusual for most big Wii games. But NSMB Wii will still continue to sell quite well in the UK for a long time.

The motion controls are kind of annoying. Especially in level 7-3 (I think) where you have to move the platforms left to right.

Sometimes I move the controller slightly to the side mid-jump and the platform flies from under Mario's feet. Other times I accidentally spin attack while on a platform and it moves while I spiral downward to my death >_>

Beating MW2 on the 360 and PS3 combined will be a challenge, but it's definitely doable. Even for the holiday season, these are breathtaking sales results. Mario Kart Wii has flown to 19.7 million in a year and five months when this game's sales look even stronger.

If sales of this game stay strong and the nostalgia that comes from this game is as effective as I think it's going to be, this game could sell 21-23 million in the time it took MKWii to sell 19. Since this game has probably about 2 years to sell (second-generation Wii is likely late 2011) it definitely has the time to do it.

They talked to Super Mario creator who said back when this was created they "rolled back" the complexity of Mario Games to allow more people to understand and pick them up instantly/play them. Instead they created a side-scrolling masterpiece that sold so far 28 million copies. Of course that was going to happen.

Nintendo says 29.51m as of september 30.

Where one game's overtracked, this one quite heavily undertracked. Remember, can't have digital sales.
