I agree. Mario Kart 7 is a far superior game, but has yet to even hit 7 million sold.

True but the 3DS user base is still small compared to the Wii one. Also, I think the main reason people buy mario kart is forlocal multiplayer. On an handled console you have to own multiple consoles for local multiplayer and that is a limit. This explains also why Mario Kart has sold more copies on Wii than on the more popular NDS.

btw. Yes Kart 7 is a superior game.

Right. In the end, quality is only one of many key factors in determining sales.

Though I think like MKDS, MK7 will have fantastic legs as the increased install base of the system inherently leads to more opportunities for local multiplayer.
