Yes. Even less than Super Circuit. Predicting it right here.

 

I have what you could call, male intuition.

put the target in the OP please.

Maybe on par with double dash. Nintendo titles are "ever green" after all



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

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

That would take every single wiiu owner on the face of this planet going out and buying it.

I dont think thats going to happen.

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

Double Dash was bundled. Who would have bought that piece of crap otherwise?


I bought that game not bundled thank you very much. And i still think its the best MK in years. ANd what makes you think that 8 WONT be bundled.

OT come on, it will sell more than Super Circuit and could probably edge out DD

Wii u hardware sales aren't going to stay at 6 million indefinately, use your brain.

It's selling less than 6360 units a day, at this rate in a year the WiiU will be at 8 million, 5-6 million is still a 5-6 out of every 8 owners buying the game, which still isnt going to happen.

Like it or not, MK8 is going to struggle to reach 4m lifetime, you can spout any nonsense you want in retort of course, isn't going to change the reality of it.

I'll be sure to circle back and quote this convosation when the first months sales are in and predictably dissapointing, no doubt youIll play the " b b b but long legs" card, legs can only be as long as the body theyre attached to, and this body is sick and frail.

So you think it will sit at 8 million for the rest of the lifetime?  Sorry, but even on the gamecube, the logic of ignoring legs on nintendo is and would be considered silly...

I mean I don't think this game will be a massive success, but you have to be joking.
