Two things come to my mind:
1) Majority of Wii U owners bought the system full well of wanting Mario Kart because its a great game....or...
2) There's only a handful of good games you could buy when the library is lacking so not a lot of options to choose from.
...I'm not one of those 8 million but that's an insane ratio!
