You think it's going to sell over 10 million copies? o.O

Maybe, depends on Wii U instal base, i think number for Mario Kart 8 will be around 10m.

I think in the long run it will eventually reach 7mil thx to being bundled. So better than Double Dash and Super Circuit. I hope.

wo with a wii u will not buy mk8? it could sell 10m with an installbase of 15m...

me. I only got a WiiU for Zelda.

Good man. I also get my consoles just for Zelda. Every other game is just a bonus.

OT: Safe prediction.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Nah it'll at least outsell Super Circuit. Probably Double Dash! and Super Mario Kart as well but not 64 and 7 and definitely not DS and Wii.

Even if it sell around 5-6 million, considering the size of the market today it will do well enough.

That would require almost 100% attach rate of the game...not happening. It'll be lucky if it crosses 4 million
