Great, good for you. Something that has been taken for granted, though, is that the game will be one of the best-selling games of the year, if not <i>the<\/i> best-selling. Hold your horses, partner, because an Electronic Entertainment Design and Research analyst <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.gamasutra.com\/php-bin\/news_index.php?story=26012\">has said<\/A> that <A HREF=\"http:\/\/www.crunchgear.com\/2009\/11\/10\/first-review-of-new-super-mario-bros-wii-gives-the-game-a-9-2-and-guess-from-who-that-numbers-from\/\"><i>New Super Mario Bros. Wii<\/i><\/A> will well outsell <i>Modern Warfare 2<\/i> when it&#8217;s all said and done.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s an important distinction to make: what we&#8217;re talking about is eventual sales. What may happen is that <i>Modern Warfare 2<\/i> could well end up the best-selling game <i>of<\/i> the year, but it won&#8217;t necessarily be the best-selling game released in 2009. <i>New Super Mario Bros. Wii<\/i>  just might have longer longevity than its first-person shooter competition.<\/p>\n<p>Does this matter to you and I, really? Eh, no. Who cares what game outsells what? Don&#8217;t let sales numbers get in your way of enjoying whatever you play.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s expected that the new Mario game will sell 15 million units over its lifetime. That new Mario games (well, not counting smaller titles like <i>Mario Learns to Cook<\/i> or whatever) are so rare, compared to Activision&#8217;s ability to publish <i>Call of Duty<\/i> after <i>Call of Duty<\/i> suggests that there&#8217;s not enough time for the shooters to get a foothold, as it were.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is all speculation designed to help your day go by a little faster. Hopefully I have achieved my objective. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/JEBOLrNDbkMC6Sxt3JACU3YiNSs\/0\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/JEBOLrNDbkMC6Sxt3JACU3YiNSs\/0\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/JEBOLrNDbkMC6Sxt3JACU3YiNSs\/1\/da\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feedads.g.doubleclick.net\/~at\/JEBOLrNDbkMC6Sxt3JACU3YiNSs\/1\/di\" border=\"0\" ismap=\"true\"><\/img><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=0aTdbScItGU:TutONxPXeIA:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=0aTdbScItGU:TutONxPXeIA:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=0aTdbScItGU:TutONxPXeIA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?i=0aTdbScItGU:TutONxPXeIA:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?a=0aTdbScItGU:TutONxPXeIA:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/crunchgear?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So by now you probably already have Modern Warfare 2, have beaten the single-player mode (cheap shot!), and have been killed within three seconds of re-spawning in multi-player mode more times than you&#8217;d care to admit.
