bolded: What's that supposed to mean?

And, no I'm not saying that MK8 won't move consoles (it won't be the resurgence of the Wii U though), what I'm saying is that you can't start a thread using the title you used, which basically implies that you have proof that the game is moving console, when the source you're basing this on doesn't even talk about console bundle sales.

If the title of your thread was "So Mario Kart 8 won't sell well, huh?" then that'd be fine, cause that's what the article is talking about.

I was saying of you thought it wouldn't move consoles naruball said "Who said it won't boost hardware sales? I want to see some quotes. No, seriously, who said that?" That's all I'm saying in my topic.

I can't say that Mario Kart 8 will boost the sales of Wii U because it's the best selling item on Amazon.com (US), as well as it is the best selling item on Amazon in Japan, and in Europe? As I said, naruball wants to say hi!

No you can't, simple as that. There are 6 million Wii Us in homes worldwide, how many of those do you think are going to get MK8, especially now that you even get a 2nd game for free?

Also I'm not saying that it won't move consoles, it will, I even said that in my post above, but you're making a connection between the position of the standalone game in the Amazon charts and the console sales that it might push that just doesn't make any sense.

If someone wanted to get a Wii U for MK8, I'd say the first thing he'd go for is the MK8 Wii U bundle and I've already posted the Amazon placements of that bundle in this thread, they're not that great.
