Wow, double my estimate! And almost half my 2014-prediction for it already!

Well done Nintendo.



Yep.

Disappointed I'm the first person to make this reply.

 

OT: Excellent sales.  Even if it is shipped + digital, still a very impressive number for a console with the sales pace of WiiU.  Kudos.

Holy crap! Can't remember what I predicted but, nowhere near that! Now I can't wait to see the hardware boost, it's going to be huge. 1.2 million +1... On my way home with my copy now...

 

edit: is it just me, or are there people in here actually trying to downplay this news? Lol if so... 

It's the usual suspects as usual, so no need to worry. They are doing a good job.

I don't think you understand what downpay means. 

Mario Kart has clearly done well, it's going to be a very strong seller throughout it's lifetime. BUT I'm not going to start proclaiming this as a massive success for Nintendo until I know what it did for hardware numbers. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

"Despite the game's rapid sales, the game is still likely to be the worst-selling title in the franchise's history. For a complete breakdown, check out our analysis piece on Mario Kart."

lmao, they make an article that fails then has to take a jab. Isnt this the site that gave the only low score to TLoU?

Polygon is and always has been a joke. Best to just ignore them.

Microsoft paid Polygon 700k to make some stupid documentary. Ever since then they've been pro MS biased.
