Do you really believe the only people that will be buying mario kart 8 are people that own the wii u already ..this is the game that people have been waiting for or on the fence on getting a wii u and it's convenient you left out how you talk only about mario kart on GameCube and not on the wii whereas it sold 35 million copies lol and don't say because it's base for GameCube was the same as the current wii u this is the game people buy Nintendos for ...you will be surprised how well this game will sell systems and I'm going to say mario kart says hi ......lol and to compare kinect sports rival ,Forza or halo anniversary to mario kart is a joke ...mario kart has sold more than all those titles combined on wii ...one game lol 35 million |
comparing Wii to Wii U is pretty rediculous. Yes Mario Kart Wii sold 35 million but didnt New Super Mario Bros Wii also sell like 30 million? Look at New Super Mario Bros U sales in comparison, 4 million in about 1.5 years. Wii Fit/Wii Fit Plus each sold over 20 million, Wii Fit U is less than 1 million. The Wii was a special console and it makes no sense to compare its software sales to Wii U, its a much better comparison to use Gamecube because its sales are much more in line with Wii U.
So lets look at previous console installments of Mario Kart, it sold in the 7-10 million range on SNES/N64/GC, thats a more realistic goal for Mario Kart 8.
