Im kinda sueprised actualy, I never doubted Mario for a second but Super Mario 3D World didnt have as much impact as MK8, kinda wierd that ppl decided to get theyre WiiUs now instead of when 3D World came out (I got mine when 3D World came out hehe).

I'm not surprised at all. 3D World wasn't the game most non-Wii U owners were looking for. The wanted the successor to true "open world" 3D Mario games like Galaxy, Sunshine, and 64. 3D World is, quite frankly, a 3D NSMB.

They didn't get what they wanted, so they didn't buy the console. I'm surprised anyone genuinely thought that SM3DW would move signifigant consoles to be honest.

I might be speaking for myself here cause Ive never been a Big Mario Kart fan but it never struck me as a game ppl would buy a console for, its good fun but you play it awhile tham its starts to get repetitive and if youre not with friends fun factor drops a lot. But I guess Im wrong and ppl do buy consoles for Mario Kart.
