wow, people are really overhyping NSMBW sales. 30 million my ass. If NSMB DS couldnt sell that much what chances does Wii version have with 2 times smaller userbase. I think NSMBW will sell 15m-17m worldwide, about 2m more than FF13

Wii is tracking on par with DS, and Mario Kart Wii massively outdid Mario Kart DS.

 

And MKWii being bundled with wheel controller has nothing to do with it

Excitebots is also bundled with the Wheel controller, so there goes that theory.

Excitebots brand is much lees powerfull than Mario brand and it had much less comercials on TV, so there goes that theory

And with that reply, it seems you do actually realize why Mario Kart Wii sells - and it has nothing to do with a plastic wheel.

it sells because of brand power AND wheel controller

Well maybe they should package that wheel controller in with Final Fantasy XIII in the West - it's gonna need it to reach your outrageous projections!

That argument is so strong and makes so much sence that i am speechless now

I'm sure.  By your logic, plastic wheels somehow boosts sales, so...

I may be wrong but reading his responses it seems to me he thinks the plastic wheel bundled with Mario Kart Wii (and Excitebots...) is actually a motion controller, not just a piece of plastic. Note that he keeps calling it "wheel controller" and in one post says "New innovative motion controller + the strongest brand in gaming and lots of ads= Good sales".

wasn't that pretty obvious?

You do realize that its just a piece of plastic, right? The wiimote is the motion controller, and everyone with a Wii already has that.

The wiimote? i was talking about that wheel that was bundled with MK Wii

Yes understood. But what it seems you don't understand is that the wheel bundled with MK Wii is not a controller, it is just a round piece of plastic - the wheel is not a controller in any way.
