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

You'll be positively dissapointed.

What he means is it won't be close to a million, it will be a million, probably more in his opinion.

How is MK8 even getting close to a million first week?
Mario Kart Wii sold 1 Mio. first week, i dont think MK8 can get anywhere close to this.
Maybe im missing something, but that just seems impossible.



If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

SM3DW's first-week sales were only a quarter million (mid-November) and they topped off at 310k during December, I really doubt MK8 has a chance of selling anywhere close to a million unless it launched during the holidays, and even then it's a huge long-shot. I'm not sure it'll even match 3DW's first-week sales until the holidays.
