Mario Kart 8 Boosts Wii U Sales 400% in Americas

[Soundwave]

The fact that Nintendo won't give numbers by just the 4x increase leads me to believe the sales weren't quite as hot as some had hoped and perhaps as protrayed on VGC. They gave a number for Mario Kart 8's software sales, and know the Wii U hardware number but they opted to not share it.
