| Rock_on_2008 said: MK Wii has nothing on the GT series. I can not really see MK series being the next GT series in regards to sales. Where are the Prologue Mario Kart games? GT series a real life racer simulation whereas MK series is based on fictional characters. Both series sell well to two completely different audiences. |
I don't think the audiences are all that different...
If people buy PS3s just for prologue or GT (it does move consoles) then that means that they are not as hardcore in other games as you might think. Thus there is a portion of casuals that play GT (actually as has been mentioned above by others saying that racing games are the most casual genre... and that is probably due to the ease of control... accelerate and break!)
Similarly MK has a wide casual base, but the 7M sold on gamecube prove that there is a large hardcore base folowing the MK games.
I would say both titles have a diverse audience comprising of casuals and hard core and thus can be compared on parity relative to sales. The only difference there is that GT3 had no online... and MKWii sales also because of the online...
