It is going to maintain a good rank on amazon, especially when Nintendo begins the marketing machine (TV advertisement, hopefully, in store demo's).

Hopefully, this represents the general hype for the game

There are 6 million Wii U owners out there, how many of those are going to buy Mario Kart? Probably a whole lot. Mario Kart was always going to do well and have an insane attach ratio. The more important question is, how much hardware will it move?
