Don't know about the Wii U but I do know that when destiny launched the PS4 sold around 360k if I remember correctly. Anyway Mario Kart is and will always be a system seller like pokemon. So I don't get why everyone is surprised that it did sell well. The real question is will the Switch still 200k weekly after it got a Mario Kart, 3D Mario and Zelda.

Apparently it did 131k which is awful. But didnt ps4 sell about 550k in the destiny week? I don't know but I think people are vastly overestimating Switch outside Japan. Those ds like sales expectations are premature and sound terribly unrealistic.

 

90-110 million is more feasible. I think it will fail to outsell ps4 due in part to a shorter lifespan.

The Switch could outsell the PS4 and I looked at the thread PS4 thread for 2015. But I might have picked the wrong week since I tought Destiny week was 500k. Buy it also released before the holidays. Anyway just because the Switch is outselling the PS4 now with plenty of big guns in its first year doesn't mean it will keep outselling it forever like some Nintendo fans are claiming already. A console war is a marathon not a sprint people tend to forget that quite often.
