2 MILLION COPIES OF MARIO KART 8 HAVE REPORTEDLY BEEN SOLD
BY LUCY O'BRIENUPDATE: Nintendo has given us confirmation that Mario Kart 8's global sell-through is approximately 2 million in less than a month, as announced by Genyo Takeda speaking on behalf of Nintendo President Satoru Iwata. Original story is below.
RUMORED so far. If true, remember this is Shipped+Digital! Found on gaf....
From Nintendo's AGM. Someone live-tweeting the event has shared that Mario Kart 8 has allegedly sold 2 million copies in 1 month world wide.
The tweet also mentions a reported upturn in hardware sales for the Wii U.
マリオカート8は発売から1ヶ月で全世界200万本。本体の販売も上向いている。(そこまで売れてるか…？)

My take:
"Mario Kart 8 has sold 2 million copies world wide in the month since its release. System sales are also up. (Is it selling that much...?)"
Unconfirmed because it's from a tweet and not an official report (yet). Will update if/when one appears.
