     What the subject says. Will Mario Kart 8 outsell MK64 for the N64? I'd say that it has chances if it gets bundled a lot.. Even without bundles I can  see the game reaching  10 million, but only if it gets  heavy advertisements. For the record Mario Kart 64 sold 9.87 million ( 5.55 million in America, 1.94 in Europe, 2.23 in Japan and 0.15 in the rest of the world).

       What do you think?  Can it pass Mario Kart 64 in sales?

Yes, bundle, bundle, bundle =D

edit: IMO they will bundle it throughout the holidays to push casual consumers to buy Wii U as well as a $50 price drop this year

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

If it's bundled it could happen... If it isn't, then probably not. I voted no.

 Nintendo would have to be very dumb to not bundle  MK8  for the holidays.

Previous Mario Kart games attach rates (VGC Data)

Wii-32.9%

DS-14.7%

N64-29.9%

3DS-21.4%

SNES-17.8%

GCN-31.9%

GBA-6.7%

 

IMO the bold are the ones that are most likely to be closest to Mario Kart 8's sales (roughly 30% attach rate)
