MK8 is one of the cheapest games on the list, no wonder it's getting more pre-orders. I mean, people are more relutant to pre-order expensive games and instead will wait some time for a price drop (not all people, but a portion yes). MK8 is cheap and people will get it day 1 (not that they have an option cuz Nintendo don't make price-cuts).

Mario Kart is absolutely huge and will be bigger than any PS3, PS4, and Vita title to ever launch in Japan. Really? Despite WiiU being a zombie, you think it'll be the biggest op? More faith than me (a crazy nintendo fan) :p How much do you think it will sell? Vita will never have a million seller and the PS3 only has 1 in FF13. PS4 has a few possibles, but Playstation consoles have grown by having a lot of different franchises that all sell well rather than the big blockbusters that appeal to Nintendo fans.

Looking at the other MK, i want to say (figures if unbundled)  it'll have no less than 600k but no more than 1.2mil. I'll predict 900k though.

If nintendo were smart, they would do a SM3DW+WiiParty+WiiFit(or another game) and bundled  it 2 weeks before MK8 releases. That would be an incredible bargain imo. Holiday did so well with the NSMBU+WiiPartyU!

the_dengle said: I don't understand the exasperation with the GOOO posts. Tbone comments on COMG pretty much every day, no matter what games are on the chart or performing well. Let him say whatever he wants. It's no different from someone coming in to point out that SAO still hasn't gotten more LE shipments yet; despite the fact that I don't care about SAO, these posts don't bother me. I glance at them and move on.

Commentary and cheerleading are two different things. Whether you want to block cheerleading, I don't really care, but I can see why people would find it annoying.

Mario Kart is here to stay! Well it wont get good points on the weekdays, so i'll celebrate today's great #s!

Edit: Holy **** at MarioParty lol, i totally forgot some ninty games do great in the last week!

Today would be much more of a "gooo" day than yesterday.

Samurai Warriors is making a last minute dash for things, too. Still looks like it'll massively underperform, though.

Neptunia still exactly on track to match the previous Rebirth game (minus the LE), which is... interesting.

P.S. Ktay will be very upset about the big winner today.

I´ll join Tbone in his celebration:

You make me happy Mario Kart.

DK is fighting for his life.
