are we in the late 90's/early 20's? was mario kart as big at the time? did N64/gc release first?

and I'm not saying mario kart is the sole thing will keep wii u. I'm saying that whatever lead ps4 manages to get (if it gets) should be taken back after mario kart 8 releases. what happens beyond is more uncertain future.

Ok by that logic NSMBU should have catapulted the WiiU to massive success. I mean earlier games sold nearly 30 million on the Wii and DS, why didn't it have the same impact on the WiiU? What about Wii Fit U? The earlier games sold over 20m each, why isn't it saving the WiiU considering how successful the series was?

I could go on but I made my point. Just because a game had massive success on the Wii, does not translate to massive success on the WiiU. 

This was already discussed to hell and back. nsmbu did a good job at launch but it isn't a hardware mover like mario kart.
