Not trying to be rude but your logic is flawed. Most people who purchase consoles are casuals. There are only a handful of devoted fans for each brand. Most people will flock to whatever system is popular and Mario Kart is one of those games that will attract them to the Wii U. Will it have Wii sales? Obviously not, but to think that it will obtain only a marginal hold of 40K weekly is just not using common sense. |
No they aren't. The average console gamer, going with games sales, is a CoD/GTA playing teenager. They are your average gamer. However, the Wii owners, the "casual" gamers, are the ones who consider gaming to be angry birds whilst taking a crap. That audience, which is the vast majority of Wii owners, doesn't care about the Wii U because their iPodroid is doing just fine. I can guarentee that casual gamers and average gamers, will not go out to buy the Wii U ever, not even for Mario Kart.
This is a console that is doing terribly. It's killed Nintendo's stock, and is selling much, much slower than the Dreamcast. Thinking one game, a karting game, will save it when karting games on the other consoles (which are selling just fine) will save it? Won't happen.
