Nombreux joueurs se demandaient quel serait l'effet de Mario Kart 8 sur les ventes d'une Wii U encore à la traîne. Nous avons obtenu des premières informations, positives, pour la France. 

À VOIR 
Mario Kart 8 : technique controversée pour gagner en vitesse

D'après nos sources liées à une grande enseigne nationale, l'effet Mario Kart 8 est bien réel. Ainsi les ventes de Wii U auraient été multipliées par 10 depuis une semaine (cela partait certes d'assez bas et s'approcherait ainsi des 20.000 ventes).

Une progression record supérieure au plus gros boost enregistré jusqu'à présent et qui correspondait au lancement de Zelda The Wind Waker HD qui avait permis à la Wii U de se vendre 7 fois plus qu'auparavant. A noter que l'effet Zelda avait duré un mois.

Mario Kart 8 s'impose donc définitivement comme la meilleure vente Wii U depuis son lancement en France. Pour mémoire, le titre s'est déjà écoulé à 1,2 million d'exemplaires dans le monde.

Reste maintenant à savoir combien de temps ce bel effet se prolongera. Mario Kart 8sauveur de la Wii U ? Cela en prend le chemin...

Many players were wondering what would be the effect of Mario Kart 8 on sales of Wii U still lagging behind . We have obtained preliminary information, positive for France .

Mario Kart 8: controversial technique to gain speed

According to our sources in a large national retailer , the Mario Kart 8 effect is real. And sales of Wii U would have been multiplied by 10 for a week ( it certainly left quite low and thus approaching 20,000 sales).

Record than the largest recorded so far and which corresponded to boost launch of Zelda The Wind Waker HD which allowed the Wii U to sell 7 times before progression. Note that Zelda effect lasted a month.

Mario Kart 8 therefore definitively imposed as the best Wii U sales since its launch in France . For the record , the title has already sold 1.2 million copies worldwide .

Remains to be seen how long this will last beautiful effect . Mario Kart Wii U 8sauveur ? It takes the path ...

France is Nintendos best market in Europe, as is made apparent by this.

So close to 120k for the WiiU this week? That's a good boost.



Soundwave on 04 June 2014

Only 8k more than the UK isn't terribly impressive.



kopstudent89 on 04 June 2014

that's already 32k in Europe. When was the last time it managed that outside holidays?! I think at least another 20k from the rest for sure. Huge week for the Wii U
