Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Mario Kart 8 sales prediction thread

Ninricken on 06 April 2014

Ok, that is interesting, here are my predictions:

first week: 600 000
end of 2014: 3 million
lifetime: 9 million



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.

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 -_-"

First week: 860k
2014: 4.70m
Lifetime: 12.05m

Randomness galore. But I think it'll do very good and highly likely be the best selling game on the system.

Double Dash was released in November and the Gamecube already sold more consoles than the Wii U in the same time.

So i dont think it will be as high as Double Dash first week.

MK7 sold about a million week 1 in all regions on an install base that was I believe around one million at that point. Also, it was sold during the holidays, so MK8 should fall significantly short of that. So, I'll say about 700K.

I'd say lifetime sales would be about 10 million if it were not bundled, but bundles will probably bring it closer to 15 million.
