Doubtful. At the end of April Nintendo said that 1-2-Switch is on track to reach a million and that was in context of shipments. If it had reached 1m in shipments at the time, Nintendo would have said that it has already crossed that mark. Sell-through is a different matter though, and that's where Mario Kart 8 easily beat 1-2-Switch to the 1m mark.
Nope, when Super Mario 3D World didn't work, that's the point where Iwata set everything in motion to work on a better successor and merely get the Wii U across the finish line. Mario Kart 8 launched during a fiscal year that had a shipment forecast of only 3.6m Wii Us, so they weren't expecting an uptick in Wii U performance anymore. |
If that was the case, they wouldnt do the free game promo.
