Can Mario Kart Wii become the nr 1 selling game in its first 12 months?

How can Wii owners deny that there is a shortage of Wii games this year? It just boggles my mind...

Do you think Mario Kart would sell the same if it was on a console that had GTA4, MGS4, Soul Calibur4, Devil May Cry 4...etc...I decided to stick with 4's :)

 

 I do think so. Mario Kart Wii is a game that sells consoles, and has damn fine gameplay.

And I can't think of any audience that has a Wii, but would skip MKWii if the games you mentioned were on the Wii. Expanded audiences won't buy those games, but they would still buy MKWii, Nintendo-fans would still buy MKWii even if they would buy one or more of those games as well, and hardcore snobs don't have a Wii to begin with and would rather play those games on a non-Nintendo console, because Nintendo is ruining the industry and they would help Nintendo to do so by buying their platform.

 

Actually you may be right here. those games probably would not slow down the sales of mario kart. I do think that lack of games (May 2008 - present) is helping mario Kart however but it would sell very high reguardless. Only a game like Sonic racing or Kirby flying adventure could slow down the sales of Mario Kart.
