Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has bullishly claimed upcoming Wii exclusive platformer New Super Mario Bros. Wii will outsell Activision’s imminent powerhouse Modern Warfare 2.

There is one significant stipulation in his claim: NSMB Wii will outsell single format MW2.

“Absolutely. I say that unequivocally. On one particular platform, I do believe so,” Fils-Aime told GTTV. “Now, you’ve got to give me the entire holiday selling season. Right? So let’s take it all the way through the January NPD data. Yes. I’ll put that stake in the ground.”
