 You mean recieve any system sellers? When I'm proven right I'll expect an apology ;) Keep dreaming, I'll keep my feet firmly on the ground. If Mario Kart was widely loved, explain the GC. Oh snap.

You're going to look very silly when MK8 sells millions. ;)

And Mario Kart sold 6.95 million on GC, despite ruining the franchise's core appeal (accessibility) by overcomplicating things. Games cannot sell that much if they are not widely loved. You're living in a dreamworld.

I actually think it will sell millions but not help shift the console. As with SB on GC, it shows that Nintendo fans eat up 1st party titles, but those titles don't draw in a wide audience, hence why the sales for the consoles are so low. 

Can't wait to show you I'm not the one living in la-la land ;)

Yeah, smash bros on the GC. Console barely sold, but that game did. Nintendo fans eat up all the franchises that Nintendo kick out, but are a dying breed. That combined with a system that is starving for releases, you'll find that those who buy Mario Kart will also have 3D Mario, DK, pikmin etc because there really isn't competition.

I'm failing to see your logic here. So there were zero games with broad appeal on the GC all due to its lower userbase? Therefore the same for XBOX, Saturn, Dreamcast, Vita? 

No, there were simply zero games with broad appeal on the GC fullstop. However the core Nintendo fans who do buy the consoles will always buy the 1st party titles regardless, which is unlike any other console as a Killzone owner may not own GT.
