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. ^^

The same 15 million for me :) (based on 50 million Wii U lifetime)

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.

Haven't those games already started?

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

So, 2 games out of the top 10 selling series are out and still no change? When's the next one coming out?

More than any pre-DS/Wii Mario Kart. So, 10 million minimum.

Same here. It should do a little more or less than 12 million units.

Hmm. 12 Million, low-end. 15 Million seems possible.

12-15 millions. I think most people want MK on a console, so I see no reson that this shouldn't be able to do these kinds of numbers.

what do u mean no change? Those were launch titles

The rest of the year has Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, Wii Sports Club, 3D Mario, Mario & Sonic Olympics, Zumba Fitness and next year has Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Smash Bros and possibly Zelda/Wii Play/Mario Party. If those games dont boost hardware sales then Its safe to say Wii U will never see a turnaround.
