I'm going with no but I hope the ninty haters don't use this as ammo in the future like every other optimistic WiiU prediction.


Oh the "haters" certainly will. 

Oh I know, when most of them are probably alt accounts.


well that is an ironic last message

Just signed to say this:
Mario Kart Wii sold 35.53 Mil copies since it's release. Now to do some calculations...
As an average, within 312 Weeks Mario Kart Wii sold 114000 weekly. Let's say Mario Kart 8 sells at this rate until the end of the year.
So with 33 weeks left. It will sell almost 3.7 Mil copies by the end of the year if it sells 114000 weekly, which isn't bad because the Wii U will hit 10 Mil (that is if there are new Wii U buyers).
Now to use another number:
Mario Kart Wii sold in it's first 33 weeks 9.7 Mil copies. Which means 294000 weekly.
Let's say Mario Kart 8 sells at the exact same amount. It would get 9.7 Mil copies. That would get the Wii U to almost 15 Mil sells (if there are new Wii U buyers).
Anyways, this is just the impact of Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U(considering new players would buy the Wii U for Mario Kart 8), so how do you think the influence of other games will do, such as: Wii U Sports, Wii U Play, Wii U Fit, SSBU, Zelda U.
Just saying... to anyone who thinks Wii U is out of the competition, well think again...


Man, you are as optimistic as it gets.
