^ VERY doubtfull. IMO 1M is a bit high.

Hehe, Nintendo might win "biggest developer of the month" even for the month GTA IV launches!

(Nintendo could have made it even without this really, last month they had 5.4M with Brawl, but Brawl second month + MKWii + few days of Wii Fit could actually beat the crap outta GTA IV.

When does Brawl launch in Europe?

MKWii should appeal to a larger audience than Smash Brothers.... after all, it was already present at the SNES time when Nintendo was dominating so it should be a lot more recognizable.

Sales were very close on the gamecube. To be fair, MK:DD sold 1.93m in Europe and 4.14m in the US. This suggests that Mario Kart will be more than twice as big in the US as it was in Europe, where its first two weeks came out to over a million already.

 GC was not really a heavy casual console.... what i'm saying is that on Wii, MK should go way past Brawl because the new audience will be more attracted by it (that is why the Wii wheel is there too). I wouldn't be surprised if MK did 1.5 to 2x the sales of Brawl lifetime ^^
