Who the fuck goes out wanting Pikachu and comes back with a karting game!?

People go out shopping without a prefixed idea of what they are getting or want specifically all the time.

Keep clutching at straws buddy - you can't call Pokemon competition to Mario Kart, that's insane as the games are not comparable at all. Mario Kart only sells because there is no competition and people want a social racer. Well, "wanted". Considering how karting games didn't take off on any of the other consoles I think it's easy enough to say that only Nintendo fans want a karting game, everyone else wants anything else whether it's CoD or Forza.

It's because those other Karting games are SHeeeet. Face it, Mario has a monopoly on the Karting genre.

 

But hey, obviously Pokemon only sells becuase Digimon and Monster Rancher no longer exist.

I get what what OP is saying as that: if MK fails, nothing more will help. The games is actually doing well on the preorder chartz, and the game manages to sell on first sigth, a thing that not even mario manage to do. Yet, zelda don't do so well in japan(MK ahs a better worlwide appeal), and wiiu will recieve a version of smash 5 months later than 3DS. so, the only one running freely rigth now is MK.

Yet, there is no TV spots and the bundles is actually more expensive, so i don't know if nitnendo is doing all they should.

It's more expensive because it has an additional wiimote and wheel.

But i bet would sell more if they cut the extra wiimote and bring the price to $280. For me, nitnendo rigth now just want to recover from the losses so far, not make the machine a sucess.
