There's going to be alot of digital sales for this game, so imo until nintendo gives the actual sale history for MK8, there's no point in analyzing for doom or cheers.

Sure it will as over 5 mio. Wii U owners waiting for this game and Nintendo ensuring that each of them knows that it is going to be a must have...

One week is different from another. This is no indication of how well it's selling outside of amazon. I don't know why it should come as a surprise that wiiu's biggest title to date has reached number 1. If it didn't, that would be incredibly concerning for nintendo.

So, what about today, is it still at top?

will it sell 1 mil WW first week?

Nope.  Fell down a spot.

wow. My first bet was between 400 to 500k WW in first week.
would never say it could reach 1M WW in first week, but it not seems impossible.
Now i would bet 700 to 800k.

I see, Still a good performance but looks like the thread title is not accurate now.

Mario kart 8 is in the top 5 of preorders :)

And I also preordered it

To be fair, it never reached number 1 (from what I saw at least), it just supplanted the ps4 at the 4 spot behind three tiers of psn gift cards.
