MarioKart/SmashBros...etc...etc... These are Nintendo top tier games and Nintendo's most profitable franchises. It is possible that WiiSportsResort will ship upwards of eight mill it might beat out SmashBros may even pose a challenge to MarioKart but I highly doubt it will over take MarioKart and join the likes of WiiFit or WiiPlay. Beating Nintendo's name brands will be a big enough challenge! Of course as many pointed out WiiSports was bundled with every console so that will serve as superb advertising for WiiSportsResort. It may but not likely, as many have pointed out WiiSports only sold because it was bundled with the Wii hardware if it handn't been bundled it would have only sold a couple million copies.

Wii Sports is not bundled with console in Japan and it has sold 3.5 million there. So it would have sold more than 10 million copies even if it had been sold separately. Most likely WSR is going to sell around 10 million but probably not as much as Wii Fit.
