Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Who thinks Smash will sell more than Mario Kart 8?

 

So what?

MK 8 will outsell Smash 161 56.69%
 
Smash will outsell MK 8 100 35.21%
 
Now that Pachter said it, it won't 23 8.10%
 
Total:284

The lifetime sales of MK8 will be much better than Smash. But Smash will sell more consoles.

I don't think so. I'd very very impressed if it could.

You should make this an official prediction! It would be an easy win though so I can understand why you didn't take it, you seem like one of those wild guys! Rawr!

I've seen a lot of hype and I've might even seen some people claiming that. But are there really people who honestly believe this? And if so, why?

Looking at the sales data of both series it seems absolutely impossible.

I'm talking of course about the Wii U version.

Depends on the measure you're using.

I expect Smash to sell more copies than MK8 by either the end of 2014 or the end of the financial year (end of March 2015). I expect Mario Kart 8 to sell more in the long run, though. I'd expect Mario Kart to have longer legs than Smash.



It will be hard to improve on MK8 s attach Rate IMO

How could it seem impossible when it has happened before?


Well.. people think this because it makes sense when you think about it. Melee was THE REASON to own a GameCube. It launched 2 years before Double Dash. A lot of people didn't like Double Dash but Mario Kart 8 is a different story. and its not impossible its just not as likely.



ohh ohh ohh ohh!!!!



not me.



MK8 will sell 10M+ lifetime



Of course. MK8 will be smashed to pieces

But seriously, MK8 hasn't received half the hype smash got.



Both will be 5 million+ sellers but I think Mario Kart will edge it out.
