woh, so you are saying that mk8 is going to sell 300% more than the wii u hardware itself?? That is impressive my friend, very impressive 
Honestly, the biggest barrier to mk8's continues sales growth is the install base of the wii u itself. It certainly isn't going to sell 20% of its opening weekend on a daily basis...

Obviously those stats are likely to be exaggerated but if any event/year is likely to double the Wii-U's hardware base its this one so atleast 10,000,000 wouldn't be that insanely unlikely, in my opinion - also add to that the fact I was probably being very generous with my estimate of 80% of the last CoD's life-to-date sales being sold before year-end and you still end up with a comparable result (in my opinion).

well, even if the wii u hardware base did double, you are still talking about 83% attach rate... that just won't happen unless mario kart is bundled with every single wii u sold from now on AND it sells 3 million more to the existing hardware base. It is just way too high of a prediction, in my opinion. I think realistically Mario Kart could be around 4-5 million by the end of the year. Which is AMAZING for an install base that small.
still, think what you want, just know that you will most likely be wrong... heck, watch dogs is already 3 million ahead of it too...
