Uhm, what are you talking about?

1. This is the Xbox One version of Watch_Dogs we're talking about, just that version. Mario Kart 8 passed it.

2. Mario Kart 8 is about 30k under Destiny X1, and 70k under Destiny PS4. In the newest update, Mario Kart gained over 50,000 more pre-orders than both of those versions (Not combined). That basically confirms that it will pass Destiny X1 on the next update, and MAYBE pass Destiny PS4 (Most likely neck and neck, with Destiny PS4 ahead)

............

I dont know how else to explain this, Mario Kart does not have anywhere near more pre orders than Watch Dogs or Destiny. This is not an opinion.

Guess I'll just go into detail about what I'm talking about.

1. I'm talking about only Destiny right now.

2. Only VGChartz US pre-orders

Mario Kart 8 is clearly on track to pass the Xbox One version of Destiny, get really close to the PS4 version, and get 80-100k less pre-orders than Watch_Dogs PS4 according to VGChartz's US pre-order chart. Fact.

If you are using VgChartz info then ok thats fine.

I don't find it that impressive honestly. WD is a brand new IP. Mario Kart is one of the best selling game franchises in the history of the medium. MK is also literally the only big game out on the WiiU until the end of the year. If you have a WiiU, you're getting MK.

I've always wondered this; do you have access to just your GS' numbers or a broader range than that?

I wouldn't read too much into VGC preorder numbers. They're more of an educated guess.

Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Doesn't mean much as we knew MK8 is going to do well. It's the biggest game for wii u so far and you get a free extra game from a really good selection.

I was torn on whether to get pikmin 3 or nsmbu with the special offer so I made the choice simple and bought Pikmin 3 yesterday and I'll get nsmbu as the free game with MK8.
Loving Pikmin 3.
