Surely you're joking. MK8 should easily give Wii U a 800-1000% boost in HW.


800-1000% boost? That would be crazy high and possibly one of the biggest boosts ever?

Not even close. PS3 got several 10-15k to 50-100k boosts in its life. That's what happens when a system selling horribly gets a massive IP that has potential to sell millions of units.

Mario Kart Wii only gave the Wii a 2,000 unit boost in japan.

Pretty sure Wii was still sold out WW when MK Wii released.

Wii U > PS4 in Japan, as it should be.

Pre Mario Kart Wii week.
Wii: 44,618

Wii: 46,296 

EDIT: Oh, I get what you're saying. Yeah, I didn't think about that at all.

MK8 and Smash will give Wiiu a great boost. PS4 will win in the long run though I think :d.

I think you are aiming too high also...I'm thinking 25-50K is far more reasonable. I do hope you are right though...

I would shocked if it stayed below 50k. That would be worse than anything I imagined. MK is huge and should sell systems.

Sssst, we discussed this OP! You're basically asking for war by stating facts like this.
