Nintendo Says No Wii HD And New Super Mario Bros Wii Will Outsell Modern Warfare 2

New Super Mario Bros Wii ScreenshotNintendo's North American President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime has squashed the rumors of an impending Wii HD release in the new GTTV episode. He also states that the New Super Mario Bros. Wii will outsell Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

In the newest episode of GTTV, Reggie speaks about  Nintendo's future and makes some pretty bold statements about the New Super Mario Bros. Wii sales potential. There have been many rumors about a new version of the Wii with HD capabilities being released. Most people believed this was inevitable for Nintendo to keep up with the other consoles but Reggie has flat out stated there is no Wii HD. This is definitely disappointing for anybody that hoped the rumors were true. Reggie doesn't leave much more for debate when he says "I don’t know how forcefully we can say that there is no Wii HD". This could also be a clever ruse to try and distract us until they actually announce it. Then again they could actually be okay with just having a non-HD console that has outsold everybody else.

In the same episode, Reggie makes a pretty bold statement about the New Super Mario Bros. Wii game. Reggie threw down the gauntlet and said that it will "outsell Modern Warfare 2 on a single platform". That is a huge statement since many people have already crowned Modern Warfare 2 as the biggest launch ever. The good thing about the statement is that we don't have to wait for very long to see if he is right.

The New Super Mario Bros. Wii is going to be released on November 15th and Modern Warfare 2 drops on November 10th. Let the battle begin.
