150k global? are you serious? It's gonna sell way more than that just in Japan. If you want to troll, do it better.


I am willing to make a bet.


i'll take that bet! 150k is too easy WW. You might really want to rethink that

I don't want to contribute with your addiction to betting but I'll take it. I say Mario Kart 8 will open with less than 150k FW. I bet a sginature for umm... 2 weeks?


FW (Worldwide), since i feel bad i'll make it 200k FW okay? Do you accept? 

I do! I totally accept.

I too think that MK8 will be a huge flop. MK Wii's success was based directly on the wii's success.

MK8's flop will also be based on the Wii U's flop.

As for the Vita comeback.. hahaha!! Sorry, didn't mean to laugh.

I can't believe you are comparing sony and MS first party's with nintendo's. and no, xone/ps4 exclusives aren't selling better.

also, corrected for you: Nintendo first party support and some third party games.

Why not?

Dead Rising and Forza are already at 1m on XB1 and Killzone flew past 1m on PS4. Nintendo first party clearly isn't selling many WiiU's, so the comparison is entirely fair.

Why you can't compare? quality, quantity and sales. the way you talked, it was as if sony and MS first party offerings equalized nintendo's, something they don't get close to doing even when combined.

It will and by a huge margin, specially if you compare it to Mario Kart Wii.

If you were going to compare it's sales to a Mario Kart game i'd think you'd compare it to Mario Kart Double Dash.

I think the Vita will rise a lot, but NO IT WILL NOT PASS THE 3DS!!!

I agree the Vita is picking up momentum and things are looking up. Wont be going gangbusters but wont be going bust either.

I disagree on Mario Kart 8. I think similar to Vita, it wont be going gangbusters, but it wont be a bust either. Now what is or isn't a bust is defined by Nintendo being happy per their projections/expectations and not on how a previous game in the series has sold before.

I mean Super Mario Bros on NES sold over 30 million copies (probably more). They don't hold that expectation for Super Mario 3D World. The same will be true for Mario Kart 8. I think it will be one of the multi-million sellers on Wii U even with the tiny install base.
