| mii-gamer said: A certain user here said that Mario Kart 8 won't do jack shit and also Nintendo fans would shut up when the Wii U falls back to 30k baseline. I won't name the user (in fear of getting banned), in short Mario Kart 8 has done wonders and Nintendo fans have gotten louder. So yes, Mario Kart 8 has done its job! |
There may have been a rare exception but generally everyone, even detractors expected MK8 to boost Wii u sales more so than any release to date other than launch- the question was not ""IF" MK8 would boost sales but "how much"- I thought it would sell more Wii u s the 1st week 2 or 3 weeks than it did but it has raised the base line longer than I thought it would because it has not had any more help since release re game releases-
So MK8 has done well but it is not the magic bullet many people thought- Nintendo has to so something to keep momentum going- so far they have not done that - Everytime they get a bump from game(s) released, a drought follows - they keep saying they are going to keep the software coming at someon point in The future but that time frame keeps getting pushed back -
Wii u sales are still very poor- just a little less so after MK8- The Wii U still has along way to go just to catch the game cube
