MKDD didn't save the (already very cheap) GC, MK8 and a pricecut won't save the Wii U.

I hate when people try to argue this. Mario Kart wasn't as big when Double Dash came out as it is now. Double Dash didn't have the kind of huge predicesser that Mario Kart 8 has. That's like saying GTA VI won't move consoles because GTA II wasn't a console pushing blockbuster. That's retarded.

And I hate when people don't read the thread, so what?

Software sells hardware. Hardware sells software as well.

The Wii U is pathetic in sales compared to the Wii and 3DS. MK owes a lot to becoming big because those two are big, and the other two owe it also - but while the Wii and 3DS would do fine without MK, MK will do bad without big userbases.
