4 million in less than a year. And it launched on an install base of what, 6 million? That's insane no matter how you spin it. And why doesn't it? MK will go on to sell millions more before its life is over. Besides, it's been proven time and time again that MK sales have no relation to Zelda sales. Super Mario Kart sold 8.76m while A Link to the Past sold 4.61m. Okay, so that's about half. But wait, Double Dash sold 6.95m while Wind Waker sold 4.6m. So that's 2/3 of its sales. Hold on, Mario Kart 64 sold 9.87m and Ocarina of Time sold 7.6m. That's over 3/4.
There is no pattern in this. It's random every time. The only thing that's consistent is Mario Kart does outsell Zelda, but the ratio is different each time.
