Forums - Nintendo - Mario Kart 8 will be the worst-selling Mario Kart ever. UPDATE: Nope, my prediction was wrong.

I think Nintendo biting the bullet and dropping WiiU's price to $250 in May with MK8 bundled is what it's gonna take at this point. That would yield some great results IMO for both the game and the console's sales.


I think there´s a 100% chance they´ll bundle MK8 with the system, I ´m guessing that even internally at Nintendo HQ, MK8 is seen as the system´s 'last chance'.

Though, I´m not so sure they´ll drop the price while including the game at the same time, not in the beginning, at least.I think they´ll at first retain the $300 price for the bundle, then depending on how things go, they might bite that bullet.


I wouldn't say another price cut in May is impossible. Afterall, weekly Wii U sales are probably going to have dropped back down to the sub 20k region during this 3 month drought before MK8 releases, so desperate times may call for desperate measures.

Im really hopeful we see a relaunch to go along with Mario Kart.

-New redesigned Wii U with smaller, sleaker Gamepad

-price cut to $250 bundled with Mario Kart 8

-new advertisement campaign

-steady stream of software from that point on

-E3 a few weeks later show off a bunch of big titles for 2014/2015


You know I'd be all for this, but I wouldn't get your hopes up! :L


Its what I hope, not expect

I ain't Nintendo hater. If my prediction isn't accurate, I'll admit that I'm useless at making predictions

Well, this is a gaming site that focuses on sales, much of the conversation will go that way.

But yes, the music of the game is amazing, especially the underwater themes.

I think you missed my point: between thread after thread of Nintendo negativity and DKC:TF's music, you'd think people would pick DKC:TF's music!

It's getting to be a downer around here, lol

There have been multiple threads about the games music in the last few months.
