You want spinning?

WD - 8m shipped / 180m consoles (not including pc) = tie ratio 4.4%

MK8 - 2m+ sold / 6.6m consoles = tie ratio 30%

Leaving out some crucial information in your analysis is definitely 'spinning'. 

Sales so not scale proportional to install base. If the Wii U had sold 66 million consoles at this point in time Mario Kart 8 would not have sold 20million units by now. Ignoring the fact that Mario Kart is a recognised franchise thats been building momentum for over 20 years is incredibly silly.


Mario Kart Wii  is at 33% , if we speak about ratio.

Mario Kart serie always has a great ratio compared to the console where they are. Mario Kart games also don' thave millions of unsold copies sitting on shelves or warehouses.


i think we could see 40% this time.  wii u is a core console. it doesnt has millions of casuals that just buyed it for wii fit so the ratio should be higher.

33% of ratio is actually great, I think on GC it was similar. But MK is stronger licence now. Even with that a 33% for MK8 would be a big success.
