WiiU vs. last gen and handhelds

Don't forget the Vita also had big games released. I'm already generous in thinking, that WiiFitU and MH3U (and yes, probably Mario Kart) are bigger system-sellers.

Yes, I agree, but at the same time I'm inclined to say that Vita had none on the scale or with the pure selling power of stuff like Mario and Mario Kart.

Also, @ bolded: that's laughable. Mario Kart is practically the definition of a system seller. There aren't many games that could be considered bigger system sellers, on any system. Especially not on Vita.

MH3 won't be a system seller. Perhaps in Japan, to an extent, but an upscaled port of a last-gen game's not going to be that big in the West. WiiFit remains to be seen, those games were insane on Wii, but I doubt it'll be as big now. Still, should sell millions, just not tens of millions imo, like its predecessors. But you can bet your grandma MK will be a system seller unlike most others games out there - regardless of platform. The DS and Wii versions sold over 20 and 30 million, respectively. Meanwhile, the 3DS version, which came out a bit over a year ago, already sits at 7.5 million.
