| Train wreck said: Seece: Boost from Mario Kart 8 is just ok Nintendopie: Just "ok", you had a system no one wanted and one game propelled it to great hardware numbers! Whats wrong with you Seece? Me. Just "one game" (I dont consider mario kart just a random "one game", most likely the Wii U's most anticipated release) NintendoPie: Yes just one game, mario kart releasing for the Wii U last week. Me: Mario kart has shown in the past that it has the ability to move hardware...by like a lot. Nintendo themselves compared it to the last iteration of Mario Kart, 7, which did a boost of 2.7x for the 3DS. The Wii U with its low baseline in the US did not have much of a hurdle to jump 400% from a game of this calibur. Seece's use of" OK" seem more than fine to me. |
Oh, you are one of those people who think that since it's Mario Kart it should automatically do gangbusters? Well, no. It's not that easy. Mario Kart is a huge series, but it's also dependant on the system it releases on. MKDD!! did a good bit for GameCube, but the GameCube still flopped. On the other hand, MKWii did a lot. Why? Because it was on the Wii and because of the userbase already available.
For the console it's on and for the userbase available, MK8 did very well. (It is the second best opening for any MK ever, also says Nintendo.)
