OfficerRaichu15 on 20 August 2014

It's just so weird that nintendo's worst majorregion(out of na,eu, and of course jp(untill pre obon) has been able to sell a consistent 18-20k(heck it almost sold 30k last week accoriding to famitusu) why do you think that is happenning? Is it because they are starved for games or japan just loves mario kart XD. dicuss

Probably because Mario Karts are rare titles. Smash will do more though since it doesn't come out often at all :)

At the state the Wii U was in prior to MK8 it was anyone's guess.
