Nope unless they make another Mario kart and smash brothers in 2 years. They just don't have enough huge titles. This is where having no 3rd party support hurts

Come on... Mario Kart Wii was MUCH worse than MK8 in that regard..

As big as a Nintendo fan I genuinely hate double dash with a passion, while I do admint MK8 MAY have brought out some rage from me I find it sooo much better then DD. Also even if Jungle Beat isn't a real DK game tropical freeze is still better

I feel the exact same way as you do except with MKWii! I cannot stand that damn game!

MK8 makes me rage like no other. It is not a well balanced game. I also hate myself for spending 100 bucks on fucking controllers to play it. I just...that game is a mess for me. Idk.

DK: Jungle Beat is not a real DK game. There hasn't been a real DK game since 1999. Edit: DKC Returns notwithstanding.


What's wrong with MK8? It's certainly more balanced than MKWii.

The koopa kids are what's wrong with MK8. All I want is Dry Bones and I can't have him. QQ

I hated MK Wii too :3

I believe it will because it kind of taking like the GC route. It may be only first party but it has a lot of exclusives out just like the GC did.

If it's taking the GC route(wich i expect aswell)it's not going to make it to 25 million since GC ended at 21 million.It's even behind the Gamecube by about 2.5 million.

I think so. Game cube averaged 4-5m a year during its lifespan. There are signs of recovery here especially since some franchises have actually grown since the GC era (MK and Smash bros mainly). Holidays also have become a lot more front loaded. Will be an interesting one this year.

Not like XBO is any better,
It got Titanfall and only does 60k a week
And the gap increasing between Wii U and Xbox One
http://www.vgchartz.com/article/251701/xbox-one-vs-wii-uvgchartz-gap-chartsjune-2014-update/


Hasn't t the Xbox 1 sold over 300,000 more units than the Wii u year to date?   That would be a decreasing gap not increasing 


........

No

If you actually read the link it says the gap increased by 30k in June

Wii U is also 1,700,000 units ahead of the Xbox One

This is literally a site for traking sales and you don't know that?

Well, you're right... Dry Bones needs to be in MK8! He is probably going to be a DLC character or something..
