Will MK8 push enough Wii U's to sell more than PS4 during its launch week?  I'm expecting MK8 to give a 300% boost to Wii U for that week, and based on current numbers that means it will be close.  What do you think?

What makes you believe Mario Kart will quadruple WiiU's sales?

The impact of a flagship franchise.  Although I did mistype.  I was more thinking that Wii U sales would be 3X what they were the previous week, so a 200% boost.  But it could be as much as 300%.  There's a lot of mainstream interest in this game.

It's definitely a flagship title on the WiiU but it will be more about legs than a front-loaded impact. I expect a boost of 100%-200% rather than 200%-300%. I think that was the impact of the predecessors on the older consoles. But let's see...
