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

Chris Hu on 07 January 2013

I doubt it will 7 million more copies that being said its already a bigger game then Mario Brothers which got most of its sales due to bundles. Mario Kart Wii did most of its sales before it was bundled.

it wont, it needs another 7 million and the WiiU just came out



Even with the wii u, there is no MKU yet and beside MK7 is out and the ds version is still selling especially during holidays! Im not saying it'll pass but believe even with a new mario kart out, this game will continue to sell, Did I mention its still "full price". Just imagine holiday with this for $20-$30


it has 33 million sales. its clearly not about the price. just look at the sales of the game, it fell from 5M last year to 2 million this year. now that nintendo has a new console out people will move to it, and wii sales will drop even more. it will be lucky to pass 1m next year. no way its going to sell for another 7 years and sell another million each year. it outselling mario bros is out of the question



I would bet you (not beating mario bros but at least a high 30s mil number) but this game will take long to reach it IMO. lol. I guess will see next year right?

hahaha im not gonna wait 5 years to win a bet :P if u want to bet something about it sure but dont make a bet that will take years :P

Two overrated bundled games that a 10yo would feel ashamed if he played them

Well I say that MKWii will sell 35m to 38m lifetime, it will still sell for maybe 3 to 4 years even if Nintendo takes the Wii first out of the market.It will maybe not surpass the legendary SMB,but what about NSMBW surpassing the original NSMB?NSMBW has better chance of doing it then MKWii.



NintendoPie on 07 January 2013

It should be able to hit 35 Million but I'm not sure about the other 5+ Million left.
If a Mario Kart for Wii U comes out next year I think sales will drop off, especially since that would be the second Mario Kart after the Wii version.
