If anything, this makes the numbers that much more impressive. ;p

Mario Kart was 4k two weeks ago, 17k last week, and now 38k this week. Damns.. I think people are under estimating how big this is going to be. In my circle of gaming friends, I was the only one with a Wii U. A couple weeks ago one of them got a Wii U because they were getting hyped for Mario Kart, and 2 more say they're gonna get the Mario Kart Bundle.
I think we're gonna see around 300k US perorders at launch, and close to 1m sales first week world wide.
Just wow to the Watch Dogs, Mario Kart 8, and Borderlands 2 Vita pre-order numbers.
MK8 is doing good. Comparison chart of big Wii U games (and MK7) pre-order numbers:

I was way off on MK8 this week. I guessed ~23k. 38k is awesome!
Gaming since 1990
Damn! Those MK8 pre-orders are really impressive!

Mario Kart 8 better rev it up even more towards the end. Right now it just looks average compared to MK7 even.
Average? It's neck and neck with MK7 with 4 weeks to go, and has been close for several weeks...
