the reason no one buys this is:

- 20 million Wii owners already own Mario Kart Wii
- The game is too "kiddy" for PS360 owners

Well as I said in my post.  If you "Have" Mario Kart wii you should get this game.  It is basically Mario Kart 2 without the blue shell and better graphics

Better looking?  From my understanding...

Mario Kart = solid 60 fps with heavy rim lighting/bloom/etc

Sonic Racing = occasional 30 fps with few effects

 

... Sumo certainly makes pleasing looking Wii games, but EAD makes the BEST looking Wii games.

Yes, it is a better looking game.  I have played them both, and S&SASR looks better IMO.  You can have yours, and I will have mine. 

You know what the funny thing is, it is compared to MKW by every reviewer.  Yet it probably isn't going to hit the million mark in sales, while many reviewers say it is as good a MKW. 

Don't bash a game you probably haven't played yet.  Youtube video's do this game no justice!

I'm just arguing the technical merits here.  Mario Kart is just more impressive when you really start to factor everything in (framerate, lighting, etc).  And honestly, framerate is the MOST important visual aspect in a racer imo.

I did play the 360 demo, but the framerate was so bad it was borderline unplayable imo.  I'll probably pick up the Wii version eventually, as it's framerate is actually supposed to be better and I think it'll have a more numerous online community (thanks to the millions of Mario Karters on Wii).
