actually I believe mario maker will be a bigger hardware pusher than mario kart 8 imo

Just no. That would be something very, very surprising. The next game is always supposed to push a lot more than the last one. (See MK8's disappointing boost and Nintendo fans looking towards Smash for a "much bigger" boost).

Would you expect Pikmin to be a bigger HW pusher than lets say Super Mario? It did though with wiiu (japan).

That said i doubt it for Mario Maker, though it could be a small surprise.

This thread is talking worldwide.

The Wii U is already saturated with platformers so I don't see Mario Maker convincing people to make the plunge more than NSMB, Rayman, DKCTF, etc. already are. Really Splatoon and Xenoblade have better system selling potential due to being their IP's first Wii U entry and being of genre's that are barren on Wii U.
