A Mario Kart 8 bundle would make  Wii U sales skyrocket by 900000000000% and that's why Nintendo won't release a bundle like that one.

Of course they wouldn't. Good old Nintendo, always thinking of us. A 900 billion% increase in Wii U sales would probably overheat the entire world economy, and no one wants that. A $300 bundle would be much safer for everyone. It won't revive the Wii U, but it'll give it a nice boost without ending civilization as we know it.

Think about it though. The Wii U sold about 36,000 the week of March 15th. 900 billion% of that would be 32,400,000,000,000,000 Wii Us. That's 32 quadrillion, 400 trillion. The average person would own 4.5 million Wii Us. The amount of money spent on Wii Us that week would be $8,100,000,000,000,000,000. That's 8 quintillion, 100 quadrillion. That's at least 95,000% of the total global GDP. In other words, it would take 95,000 equally populated and productive earths to pay for that many Wii Us in a year. Civilization as we know it WOULD end. Also, there would be more copies of Mario Kart than any other piece of media, ever, combined.

Just some fun with numbers! : D

Pretty intelligent post you have there! I will go back to beating my Wii U if you don't mind!


Well if you got yours during the holiday rush I'm sure you bought a few million, so you can afford to use them as punching bags if you want. : D

Come on though, it wasn't that intelligent, I just wondered how many zeroes you had there and wondered what sort of scale that would be so a punched a few numbers into a calculator, googled the global GDP, and punched more numbers. I was amused, so I posted my results.
