Miyamoto: “It’s a Mario that will continue selling..."

Edit: Believe it or not, but selling for many years isn't that common on Wii. Miyamoto isn't talking about it selling some copies, he's talking about it being an evergreen title - something Super Mario Galaxy wasn't, and it is debatable if Mario Kart Wii was.

If he is indeed saying it will be an evergreen title, it means he's saying it will sell Wii Fit-esque, rather than be a larger Super Mario Galaxy.

What makes you say Mario Kart Wii's "evergreen title" status is debatable? It sold over 100,000 in its 78th week. Compare its sales to the top selling DS games:

It may fall in sales later on, but so far, it's pretty much only being outperformed by Wii Fit, and that's saying something.

edit: Here for a comparison with Wii Fit. That game is friggin ridiculous...

You're pretty much correct. In retrospect, it was a silly thing to claim, and with the proof you presented, I was obviously incorrect here.

My bad.  I mean, Mario Kart Wii is actually the game that sold the most in the first  12 months from the original release ever (by VGChartz data).
