no



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

No.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

The answer is No but unlike those above me I will explain why.
The reason TF did well but didn't push enough consoles to close the gap was because it was hyped since launch so its not a stretch to argue that TF has been selling console's since November.
The Wii U unfortunately has had a year on the Market, and while this game wasn't expressly announced till like last year, it and Smash 4 will probably perform worse than TF but better then DK:TF. They will sale well but pushing consoles is another thing entirely.

I think MK8 will sell more long-term. So it could also have a long-term affect on Wii U sales, meaning people will still finally be deciding to go pick up a Wii U down the road, with bundles and whatnot.

You honestly, earnestly think that MK8 or SBU are going to sell less than 2 million each? I'm sorry.....but even on a system struggling like Wii U, that simply is not possible. Especially not for Mario Kart. That game will sell 4 million MINIMUM, and it absolutely will push consoles. That is not in question whatsoever. It WILL help Wii U. The only question is by just how much?

I would raise that minimum if I were you.

yeah, but not only in the first 4 weeks.
i doubt after MK wii U will sell 30k per week, not even 10 weeks later.
