While Mario Kart Wii already sold 33. Million according to vgchartz on Wii, and has sold 9 Million on 3DS so far, I predict it can sell 15 Million. Very high I know, but I'm optimistic. ^^


I think you are right. Games like mario kart are system seller. So 15 million is a possibility.


So is NSMB. What happened on the WiiU?

Wii U will recover as soon as these games stars to roll on.

1/3 of the consoles life time sales.

Last I checked, NSMBU had an attach rate of more than 50%.

Depends on a change on the appeal of the pad.

Not really, the 20 best selling Wii games belonged to these series: Wii Sports/Fit/Play/Party, 2D Mario, 3D Mario, Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Just Dance, Zumba, Mario Party, Mario & Sonic Olympics. So far Wii U only has 2D Mario and Just Dance from that list.

That would be like expecting PS4/One to sell well without Call of Duty, Assassins Creed, Battlefield, Grand Theft Auto, FIFA, Madden, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Gears of War, Gran Turismo, Uncharted, Forza, Fable, God of War

I'm gonna say 10m



Figgycal on 02 October 2013

Based on how the Wii U is doing so far, I'll say 4 million. I'm not very optimistic.

I was going to say 30%, but that workd too.

 

Seriously, both Double Dash and Wii were close to this number. There's little reason to believe that MK8 will deviate to any great degree.



Love and tolerate.

Mario Kart 64 did as well
