Whats the appeal to these Mario Kart games seriously?

The gap between the Modern Warfare 3 sales is tiny.

Wow @ Uncharted 3

I was one of those 3DS buyers this week aswell, good to see if be successful after everyone was putting it down.

Maybe because its fun???

I personally dont see the appeal to these Uncharted games, just generic 3rd person shooters theyre all the same. Mario Karts unique.

Hmm...3DS doing suprisingly well..Xbox 360 and Wii also.
Ps3 doing decent.Why its being outsold?..
Wii tops software wtf..
3ds needs only Marios to sell..boring.

Say what? Uncharted is far from being generic, there arnt even that many third person shooters around anymore. 

That thread doesnt have the global numbers for the week though, just the Europe numbers.

It may be fun but not fun enough for it to sell that many copies. The games dont differ much from each game, the Wii version is better than the 3DS one, and its not that unique, theres been Crash Bandicoot games similar to it, there was even a Sega game last year that was just like it, infact better even.

Thats because FPS games are better shooters than Third Person thats why, but Uncharted is definitley generic, not that its a bad game what it does it does well, but all it basically is, is a copy of Gears of Wars shooting mechanics and the climbing of Assassins Creed wrapped up in pretty graphics and with likable characters.

But as its own thing, its nothing new at all, it just did what it did well. Still i dont see the appeal to it at all, from what ive seen its just a very straight forward game where you run and shoot, climb, cutscene.

"Oh look we have to go through that door, but of course you can never simply go through a door in any of these games so go climb around the long way to lower a rope for us to get through". Is all that these games are.
