Forums - Sales - Mario Kart Wii on track for 25 million 2010, best selling all time?

It looks like Mario Kart will reach 25 million this year. Could this be the best selling non console bundled game of all time? I can't remember if tetris was bundled. Pokemon has multiple versions, so it's not qute the same. Plus this game has never received the platinum treatment, the official retail price is the same as the day it launched.

It's just stunning how this game keeps selling. This game has broken just about every sales record imaginable but it's rarely discuseed and is almost invisible to the press. The sales of this game dwarfs everything this generation, period.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

It just might be. I think Wii Play is still the non console bundled king.



 

Actually it's bundled, even if the most of its sales were without bundles (about 22-23m). If it reaches 30m we can say it would have achieved 25m even without bundles though.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

 

Tetris was bundled.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

To further this, MKWii just started being bundled in Europe, so I even forgot that until you posted.

Excellent sales!

Wii Fit has also sold well (22.67 million) and it would've sold more if Nintendo hadn't put out Wii Fit Plus (currently at 15.01 million itself!)

Pokemon is the leader if handhelds are included.  Don't know the console leader actually lol. 



Well how many people would have bought Wii Play *without* the remote? Not too many.

To me Mario Kart Wii is the greatest selling game of all time, stand alone, regardless of how It's bundled in the future or is now.

Pokemon had multiple colors/versions as did Nintendogs.



It's just that simple.

Mario Kart Wii is probably my most played game of all time.

I've played over 5000 races with one of my friends' online.

Words cannot describe how excellent this game is.

What pisses me off is people that call it a kiddish game. Anyone that thinks it's kiddish try getting 3 stars and 9999 ranking online, come back and talk to me.

I'm 32 years old for smegs' sake.
