Mario Kart for the Wii U can't come quickly enough!



I'm sure that will be the best selling Wii U game... but the Mario Kart on gamecube was also a very good selling game. What I'm saying is don't expect it to make much of a difference.

MK7 + 3D Land revived the 3DS pretty much on their own. When MK and SSB and the 3D Mario all launch, with the 2D Mario already being here, that should be a critical mass to make it not a Gamecube. Not saying it'll sell 50m, but it won't sell sub-20m either.

No, Nintendo dropping its price by $80, which lead to them selling it at a loss, is what saved the 3DS.  Nintendo can't do that with the Wii U, though they may be forced to, because they are already selling it at a pretty big loss. 

@ OP

Pretty bad numbers all around.  I do think the PS3, 360, and Vita will get price cuts, which will help with sales (the 360 less so).  To look on the bright side, at least Sony is making profit off of the Vita.  Can't say the same for Nintendo and the Wii U.
