Nah. I think around 500k is probably the max it'll do in week one, even with bundles and whatnot. Digital availability changes things too. But the first week with Mario Kart really doesn't matter a whole lot, as it'll be a game that will sell steadily week after week and have major boosts during the holidays each year. The only thing that REALLY matters the first week is how many Wii U's get sold.



Upcoming Games To Get

Definite: Kirby Star Allies (Switch), Mario Tennis Aces (Switch), Fire Emblem (Switch), Yoshi (Switch), Pokemon (Switch), Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4), Monster Hunter World (PS4)

Considering: Fe (Switch), Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Switch), The World Ends With You (Switch), Ys VIII (Switch), Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (PS4), Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Remix (PS4), The Last Guardian (PS4), Shadow of the Colossus HD (PS4), Anthem (PS4), Shenmue 3 (PS4), WiLD (PS4)

Probably around 600k seems more likely. But who knows, it's gonna be a very big stretch but stranger things have happened.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

No, for the reasons I mentioned in the other thread.

Quite surprised to see that low numbers.
350k? 400k?

From what I've seen the Japan preorders look very good, possibly up to 200k first week (Pikmin 3 did 100k already)
US should be 250k-ish and Europe 100k and 50k for Others.

Really? Not saying it will easily out do 450k, but thats being optimistic and generous? Those words make it seem your sayimg 450k max with it realistically doing 200k-400k FW, am i correct?

Your wrong, It sold 2mil (MKWii) Globally, change your op cuz many think its 1mil!



vivster on 03 May 2014

I'm skeptical. It would have to sell as many copies as there are MK8 threads in this forum.

Impossible if the preorders here are something to trust, mre like 500k worldwide.

No they shouldn't be trusted (not disagreeing with your prediction

I am so optimistic and hyped that even my mind can't bring it down. So I say between 500 and 750 k



I don't hate Microsoft, I don't hate PC,
I don't prefer Sony, I don't prefer Nintendo.
...Ok, I love Nintendo but this is something about tolerance, ok?

I'm a gamer with one of the greatest hobbies and I want to share this greatness with everyone.
