LOL ... many say 400/500 k in the first week... Ok, Mario Kart DD, sold 200k ONLY in Japan (and the game sold more in Eu and USA), Mario Kart 64 sold more 300k ONLY in Japan, ecc... Mario Kart 8 has more pre order than it had 7 (62k VS 71k), and the MK7 sold ONLY in USA 640k the first week... now... how does MK8 to sell GLOBALLY 400/500k first week? XD XD XD -_-"

Lower install base.





Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

680,000 First Week
2,400.000 2014
8,750,000 Lifetime



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

I'm going to guess 650k first week, and then 2.4 by end of 2014, and Life time I'm going to say 9 million.

I find it odd that a lot people expect MK8 to sell almost 50-100% better than Double Dash did on the GC.

Obviously the potential sales of MK are depended on the install base. Hence the reason why MKWii sold the most of all. By that reasoning MK8 should sell 30-40% less then Double Dash on the GC.

Nintendo cannot sell the WiiU so it cannot sell MK8 either.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

Could you adjust my prediction down to 7.2 Million Lifetime and 3.6 Million for this year?

I would appreciate it much.

Thanks much. I tend to be overly optimistic at first in my predictions, luckily I've come to terms with the Wii U being toxic.
