Just checked the numbers; Mario Kart Wii did close to 1.1 million first week in April 2008. On a 24 million installed base... This is quite simply impossible.

Mario Kart Wii did a full 2.1 million aligned launch; U.S. didn't come out till a couple weeks later. MK8 launches same week worldwide.

Ah, my mistake. Still, the Wii U would need a 12+ million installed base to be able to pull off the one million first week.

Wattt? Doesn't need a 12mil+ install base! MK7 did it with a 8mil install base (week before release), but then again it had holiday :-/
