I really never thought that they would go this far tbh... I was willing to accept that there might be a Mario Kart 8 bundle for the wiiU but a FREE game with every purchase of Mario Kart? Both Retail and Eshop? And its games that people want? Like what in the fuck

Did they get up and the morning and say: How do we make our fans Jizz the hardest? Oh I know, lets give them something they will forever fap too! Its like the greatest thing ever next to free sex

I agree with opening week, should be between 450k-600k. I hope more than 4mil ltd. Imo 4mil is great for a dead system (srry nin fans :-/ ) but i expect that at a minimum.

 Weird to say but the best MK selling game (MKWii) is by far the worse of the home console MK games and MK8 is looking to be the very best of all time yet it'll be the worse selling. Irony!!!

"yet it'll be the worse selling". lol,what? there's a pretty good chance it won't be the best selling but saying it will be the worse selling, totaly pointless.

No it isnt. It has a chance to not be the worst but still could be. like i said before i expect no less than 4mil but it could be anywhere between 4mil-8mil lifetime, imo it all matters wat wiiu sells lifetime. 

Dont take it bad, selling the worse isnt always a bad thing. Its not like a MK sold terrible before. Also it wont come close to the top 4 so it'll be in the bottom half of MK sales!

34mil+ MKWii

23mil+ MKDS

10mil  MK64

10mil+ MK7

Then the bottom half

8.8mil SMK

7.0mil MKDD

5.5mil MKSC (GBA)

MK8 will be outselling most likely MKSC and close to MKDD, but its not guaranteed
