Yep, it's my favorite since it is the most fun and takes a high level of skill when you're playing the top racers (contrary to popular belief).

You can still gloat in the GT5 responses that we still get constantly.

I went back and read some of the threads from when Mario Kart Wii launched. Before Mario Kart Wii launched, there were actually several threads discussing whether Mario Kart Wii or Gran Turismo 5: Prologue would sell the most. Most people landed on MKWii winning it, but quite a few thought Gran Turismo 5: Prologue would sell more. It seemed like roughly half the people expected the "real" Gran Turismo 5 to sell more than Mario Kart Wii. Which is quite amusing, as Mario Kart Wii looks to sell between 8 and 9 times as much as GT5:P and nearly 4 times as much as GT5. I'm not that much better myself, though. I remember predicting Mario Kart Wii and Brawl would sell as much as each other, both at 13 million. MKWii is looking to nearly triple that. |
Yeah, I remember predicting Brawl would beat MKWii by some holiday season, too. Seems so silly now.
Here's that bet:

It was actually at the end of 2007, and I never did get Potamus to settle the exact terms of the bet. I think he figured out that his 4 million units margin was utterly ridiculous. Turns out I could have given him GT5: Prologue sales and he'd still be 23 million units short!

Wii Sports won't hit 100 mill, it's at 79m~ with a 92M base with Wii Sports seemingly bundled with less than half of Wii's on shelves. Meaning Wii has to sell another 42 mill, 134m lifetime.

Well seems like Mario Kart 7 is on a pace to out sell it once it start slowing down.
"Nintendo fan for life"
If you look at the top 20 best selling games of all time you have to get to about 17 before you get a game not by Nintendo or a Nintendo exclusive. I think 17 is a Grand Theft Auto but 1-16 i'm sure were all Nintendo. Sales like that are for a reason.
