In what are you based for that kind of statement?



Around the Network

Would require one in every eight or so Wii U owners to get it in the first week, which I doubt.

400-600k sounds about right.

Why would you think easily? This is WiiU not Wii! MK7 did 1mil on holiday and on 3DS.

I hope it does close to a million, heck even pass it might be a possibility, but no way in hell Easily. Cuz you make it sound like it'll do 1.5mil-2mil FW

bolded: you were spot on on what I think, digital sales already included.

MK7 did 1.3 + million FW worldwide and everything points to MK8 topping it. you are forgetting that MK sells MUCH better on home consoles and MK 8 is super anticipated.



Would be great but sounds very high for this time of the year. But it would definitely deserve it, it's a 105% game



Hahaha... nope.

15-18% attach rate after first week sales? Unlikely. Perhaps if it launched during the holidays least year, but even then it would be a stretch.
I'm guessing 550-600k first week.

Wii U owners are starved for games, and this looks to be the best MK yet. Combine that with the bundles, and a decent advertising push, I wouldn't be surprised to see it break 1mil week one.

if that were true how come so many games dont do well on wii U?

already wrote above but: it's much more anticipated than MK7, it's pre orders are above or equal to MK7, MK does better on home consoles. MK7 did 1.3M first week

Just ask for the other games, especially the ones in the holidays like 3DWorld.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


I doubt it will even hit 500K in the first week.
