It's moments like this that put a smile on my face. Not because the MK8 sold such a substantial amount of copies in a mere few days but due to the fact that everyone who low balled their estimates (and actually believed it) are clearly eating crow!

Anyone not saying well done here is just spreading gloom and trying to undermine this brilliant news. Fuck the miserable bastards, well done Nintendo! Well deserved! The game is fantastic

For Nintendo shipped = sold

Sold through should be pretty close but still it's more realistic to expect that this number is shipped.

Personally, it could have sold 50 copies and I'd have been satisfied. The game completely blew me away. Mario Kart games have always been meh, for me, but this is genuinely fun.
