will the Mario Kart 8 promotion sell Wii Us?

It'll be the biggest sales we've seen outside of holiday and launch, no doubt about it. How big, I'm not sure. It might even get as big as holiday sales if they market it right, the question is whether it can really increase momentum permanently or not. If sales go down to abysmal levels again afterwards, it won't do much, but if this gets people on board with Wii U and sales pick up on the long term as people start to realize the value of getting the cheapest console with the most games, we could see Wii U start to look at least respectable in sales. I don't expect Nintendomination, but I'm hopeful that it'll be the first step to putting the Wii U a bit ahead of the Gamecube.

I sense pessimism.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up. If the Wii U shoots to first, I wouldn't be that shocked, but I'd be freaking psyched about it. I try to keep my hopes in check on this site. It makes every victory that much sweeter.
