Mario Kart could manage to pull off a 300k opening?

What kind of Wii U preorder point to sales ratios have we seen lately?

That'll do, Mario Kart. That'll do.

I stand by my prediction of 261k FW.

Boring last few days overall for Mario Kart 8. Didn't even get to 270.

If it ends up being below 300k in the weekly then it won't be pretty. Although I don't have high expectations for it anymore.

200k+ is good, i dont know why you think 299k- (unless its under 200k) aint good. (im talking about all discussions,not just this post). Mario Kart will have huge legs, i mean look at SM3DW (started with 99k but currently over 500k)

A 250k start for Mario Kart would be pretty great. That's what I'm expecting.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

The street date was broke, probably people just bougth the game in anothers store instead of pre-ordering.



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Because the opening would be incredibly down compared to MK7. Doing around what DD!! did isn't the best thing.

Great start, do we kno wat GCN #s were when Double Dash Released? Anyway 250k would be an excellent start. Imo i think they didn't have a bundle cuz they are saving it for a late Oct/Early November release!
