Will almost certainly be the highest opening for any Wii U game to date...

Around 300k, but that's quite optimistic.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Around 150'000-200'000. This all depends on how well Nintendo markets it, as well as how much existing Wii U owners warm up to it. I don't see more than 200k, though.

Took a quick look at the charts and found out, that Mario Kart usually doesn't sell the most units in Japan. They are usually on par with Europe so I don't expect much more than 250k at best.

My guess is ~170k.

No thought went into that prediction.

I would say around 300k. So nothing will work online... But it looks so awesome.

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.
