This is one of 3 generations its going to win, you forgot MKDD (7mil) vs MKSC (5.5mil)

Super Circuit was the first one of the series in a handheld and it did pretty good compared to other gba games. On the other hand Double Dash sold a lot less than 64. MKWii sold so much because of bundles and the huge market that Nintendo captive with the console, which is not going to happen again.

mario kart wii was already above mk ds current LTD when it begun being bundled. 30 million would be achieved with or without bundles. and again, with a much smaller installed base than ds.

According to this site Donkey Kong tropical Freeze sold 197 thousan units in its first week (I think it was released a Friday, like Mario Kart 8 will) the numbers are correct for USA +108.000 and Japan +35.000 for sure (npd and mediacreate famitsu)

I guess Mario Kart 8 could sell easily 3 times that, and should sell as much as in its first week 2 or 3 weeks in december.

I predicted less than 200K first week and I still stand by that prediction.


I'm willing to make a bet on that. Winner gets sig control for a month.

I expect 800000, I think for it to pass a million at least 200.000 Wii Us would have to be sold that week.

Yeah but Mk7 released on a very successful handheld. And I disagree, Mario kart sold 20m+ on DS and is already at 10m on 3ds. Mario Kart does better in handhelds, MKWii was a exception not the rule. I don't think 1m fw is out of question, might be close, but won't do it "easily".

WHAT? MK does much better on home consoles. super circuit didn't sell more than DD with 4x the installed base. mk ds sold a lot less than mk wii even with 50 million extra users. the 3ds has a much bigger installed base than either N64 or gamecube, yet MK7 is stll slightly bellow MK64 and not far above DD.

Like already said, MKSS was the first game of the series in a handheld, it wasn't necessarily destined to do good numbers. And maybe you are right, doesn't care if MKwii had bundles or not, it sold due to the fad which Wii was. 

This gen could be the first where handheld>home console but I bet the next ones are gonna be the same.

You cant change the rules >_<

Also there is like 2 others that think it'll sell under 400k, ask them. (not the one who said 150k, as he wont do it)
