This is hardly the apology for that terrible article about MK8 being the worst selling in the franchise.

Shame on you, Polygon. Did no one teach you manners?

Why would they apoligize already, it could still become the worst selling in the franchise. Wii-U install base is very limited.

I think there is a real chance it will be the worst selling in the franchise on consoles atleast.(Double Dash is at 7m).


Because they've already been proven wrong on two parts, they said it wouldn't hit 1.9m until the end of March next year by the looks of it it'll cross into 2m by the end of next week or two and the logic they employed completely ignored the prospect of new consoles being sold due to the game. The U currently has a much higher attach rate then not only the previous Nintendo platforms but higher then most consoles released and the logic employ by Polygon would mean that the console would have to stop selling altogether for that to happen because if a game like NSMBU can reach over 4m on a 6m userbase then what of MK, by the end of 2015 MK8 may very well have passed DD even though they said worse selling in the series which by the looks of it isn't going to happen.
