Just for the record.....this wasn't a surprise at all. I may have "predicted" some kind of lower number, but I did expect that it COULD do this kind of numbers. And it's not the first week, it's the first weekend. By next weekend, we'll be looking at likely at least 1.5 million total. Could be wrong, but not everyone is gonna rush out to get it the first weekend. And I still stand by my statement that MK8 has a good chance to outsell MK7 LT, simply based on the fact that it's actually fresh, a big jump for the series (in spite of a super-shitty battle mode), and there is actually a lot of hype around it, which MK hasn't had since at least MKDS.

Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Any comparassion with the other first week of the other entries on the series?



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

There's no way anyone would have predicted this. Especially not me. Seriously, great job Nintendo. Hope this carries hype over for an E3 home run.

Hardware is up 666% in UK alone, so I think hardware is pretty strong with sales.

Isn't 666% of 1 still only 666 units? :P

Well . . . at least I closer than other people. Great job by Mario Kart though. Haven't played it yet but everyone says it is an awesome game.
