Wow! A lot of people say Mario Kart. I'd like to know why.

mario kart 64: 9.87 million

smash bros 64: 5.55 million

mario kart DD: 6.60 million

smash bros melee: 6.58 million

mario kart ds: 8.81 million

 

a smash bros game has never outsold a mariokart game.

True but the most recent console MK and SSB tied. 20k is not a big enough difference

I think part of that is because Melee was a step up from Smash Bros. Whereas Double Dash was a step down from Mario Kart 64.

And Brawl will be a huge step up from Melee while MK won't be nearly as big as a step up.

possibly, we'll have to see when they come out

To me, MK has a bigger appeal to the casual gamer crowd. Yes, Brawl is at its best when its 4 people going at and is a party game as well. But racing is more accessible then fighting to the casual audience.

I think Mario Kart will be a bigger beneficiary of the Wii install base then SSB:Brawl will be. I think Brawl is a system seller, whereas Mario Kart is not. So I think last generation sales were closer to the actual amount of Brawl fans out there. (since they would buy the GC no matter what) Whereas I think there are much less people who would buy a system just to play MK
