1 million FW is basically in the bag right now, we shouldn't even be posting about it, just let it happen. Hell, I'm even forcing one of my friends to buy it and he hasn't even got a Wii U yet.

MK wii sold 2.3 milion first week. MK8 can easily cross 1 million.


2.1m FW.... on' now where you get any of your figures anytime you argue. An you expect 50% of sales on 25% userbase of the Wii's

I'm expecting much more than 50%. words like hype and anticipation comes to mind.

I think Mario Kart 8 will sell mostly existing Wii U owners like Titanfall sold mostly to existing X1 owners. Meaning it will not push tons of consoles immediately (not on a Cod or GTA 5 level). This I believe partly because it is in late Spring and also because the biggest Ninty fans already bought the WII U in my opinon. (Most Nintendo fans on this very site fit into this category I think).

Q: How many copies will Mario Kart 8 sell?
A: I don't think it will move much hardware.

Q: Who will win the AFC in 2014?
A: I don't think the Packers will win the NFC.

I am not surprised, you are loco.

Throwing out some arbitrary number like most people seems boring. It would only be interesting if there was some kind of bet involved.  The question I was getting at of whether it will move hardware both short term and long term is more interesting to me as it will have greater consequences toward the consoles future. Like how long it will be in stores, future games etc.  

 

I would never jump to talking about the NFC when I got the AFC as a topic. That is crazy.

You also expect 4mil more sales than the wii u already has 5 months ago based off similar things

Still don't know why or how you, a mod, got modded!

I had the nerve to say that MK8 would fail to sell 350k first week


And what, exactly, is wrong with that? Some kinda "no flaming on console sales" rule for mods? Because many others have done worse predictions and I see no offense on having a particular opinion.

We expect more common sense from our moderators.
But seriously he wasn't modded for that, it was a joke.


So I thought. Thanks for clearing it up. :)
