Mario thinks it's hilarious that a racing game with his name on it can sell 33 million copies and have a 34% attach rate and then people wonder if a console he is exclusively on might fail =D |
Did this game sell 33m?

Probably had pretty close to a 34% attach rate, though.
Just checked- it's 6.95/21.74 or a 32% attach rate
It's spookily similar for the N64; 9.87/32.93 or a 30% attach rate.
Using this, we can assume that whatever the WiiU sells, the Mario Kart for it will sell about 30-35% of it.
The 3DS seems to have closer to a 25% attach rate, but still selling.

Yeah. What I'm saying is that Mario Kart being on it is no guarantee for big sales, and each Mario Kart game certainly doesn't sell 33m...

True, that one on GC didn't sell 33 million, but that was about 10 years ago, more recently Mario Kart is coming off a 33 million seller. A lot of how Mario Kart U and all Mario Wii-U games will sell DOES depend on how many U's are sold. As far as attach rate goes NSMBU had like a 75% attach rate for the first week in US sales which was an awesome start.
Also, some people say the GameCube wasn't a success, but it was profitable for Nintendo. They made money on the system which is a success business-wise and paved the way for the Wii and U. At this point noone knows exactly how many Wii-U's will sell or whether it finished 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the 8th Gen, but I have a feeling it will be profitable for Nintendo since they're only taking a small hit on each console sold but make that up with just 1 game purchased.

Just say 2D Mario, he wont have a reply to that.
