Yes cause the results of 1 store's preorders 76 days before launch in 1 country = the world's sales of a game and how it will define the Wii U with prosper or flop.

Dat purple COMG chart!

I am glad Vita is somewhat saved in Japan since it is flooded with support and sells at least 18K-30K on normal weeks. Wish it would be the same story for US and Europe. It needs some system sellers there like GT and GTA

Just a year ago, nobody thought the chart would ever look like this.

Is there any mario kart sku that was just announced? because MK8 is occupying 3 spots on amazon japan top 100.

Well you certainly have way more hope in it than I do.

Wasn't there a collector's edition that came with a blue shell figurine? 

Well, well. It seems my prediction doesn't seem too farfetched now, does it, Tbone?

nice to finally see Vita getting some love!
But i'm having a hard understanding why japanese devs prefer to develop for such a small userbase when they could sell much more on 3DS, unless they just wish to break even...

WTF? there are 3 seperate SKU for MK8? i just checked, no info on them O.o

Those include amazon exclusive playing cards, theres a Mario deck and a Rosetta deck. Kind of a strange bonus...

I guess you could say it's MarioKard.
