Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will Mario Kart Wii become the top selling Mario Game of all time?

Super Mario Bros was a pack in for most people who got NES.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

It'll be close! I think it might hit 40mil but thats it! It will keep selling well even when MK U comes out! Look at MK7 and MKDS!

Well that was quick, already talking about bundles......

I doubt that MK Wii will sell 7 million more but who knows.

Oh yeah! I forgot about this. Used to go to game walls all the time when we had a database.

So with all of December numbers which we will not know for a few weeks it should be at 2 million this year without a price cut. More or less.



I say more!!! Also it will still have long legs for another 3-5years! Just like MKDS and NSMB are on holidays!

Even if the Wii stops being in production the games will sell for a bit longer like the GC games did. Plus the gamecube was less that half of what the Wii has been so it should be a bit longer. Backwards compatibility will help quite a bit as well. You could be right with that 3-5 years thing. Nintendo still needs to make the Wii have a permanent price reduction to 70-99 dollars as well. So it has a ways to go. I think it was 89 dollars this black friday at Walmart. So they are obviously making money at that price.



Yeap!!! MK might just be the biggest franchise up there wit Mario (2D platformers), COD, and GTA. Also Wii titles like Wii Sports Resort if that counts! MKWii will sell alot especially the holidays at least a mil each so thats 5mil guaranteed lol!

eeeeehh it's got quite a ways to go, so I doubt it.

Why would it be illegal?

Kind of a slap in the face that the top Mario game ever may soon not be a mario game. What if Mario Sluggers was the top selling Mario game above....Mario 64?

Yeah, a Mario game topple another Mario game is illegal.

Not gonna happen.

But really, hasn't it done enough already? You're going to give Mario Kart Wii a complex with all these unreasonable expectations.
