"sold out" and "best selling" are such nice words without context.

Until we get numbers we can't put them into context. Come back on the 31st.

That's what I'm going to do. Until then I will hold off the hype.

Mario Kart hype is real unlike some games.

At least read the article you're using to proof your point OP...

So you're saying Mario Kart 8 won't move consoles, because there's someone here who's been looking for you.

bolded: What's that supposed to mean?

And, no I'm not saying that MK8 won't move consoles (it won't be the resurgence of the Wii U though), what I'm saying is that you can't start a thread using the title you used, which basically implies that you have proof that the game is moving console, when the source you're basing this on doesn't even talk about console bundle sales.

If the title of your thread was "So Mario Kart 8 won't sell well, huh?" then that'd be fine, cause that's what the article is talking about.

I was saying of you thought it wouldn't move consoles naruball said "Who said it won't boost hardware sales? I want to see some quotes. No, seriously, who said that?" That's all I'm saying in my topic.

I can't say that Mario Kart 8 will boost the sales of Wii U because it's the best selling item on Amazon.com (US), as well as it is the best selling item on Amazon in Japan, and in Europe? As I said, naruball wants to say hi!

Dernerbal for one, he's in this thread. Didn't have to look far did you.

Knack, it was supposed to beat 3D World, even so far as when it outsold 3D World in the UK, people were twisting that and trying to say it happened Worldwide (well, not including the fact that it only happened in the UK).

Some people want it to flop. That Mario Kart 8 bundle is going sell.

I'll repost, it's okay. Knack, it was supposed to beat 3D World, even so far as when it outsold 3D World in the UK, people were twisting that and trying to say it happened Worldwide (well, not including the fact that it only happened in the UK).

You didn't read carefully, did you?
