Ok numbers. I wonder whether it will hit the 30M of MKWii.


This right here Gamers and Gentlemen is the reason I get banned alot... But instead of risking it for E3 sake I'll just leave this here and turn around....

And anyone expecting this to permanently raise the baseline for the WiiU is deluding themselves. Just like Titanfall it will provide a boost for a few weeks and then settle back into standard numbers until Smash Bros comes out.


Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the Xbone hovering around 35kish before Titanfall and it's now at around 45-50k per week after?

Seriously dude? 7 million LTD would be very, very good, Mario Kart generally sells at a 1:3 rate with Nintendo consoles. 

I think this will probably be the best selling Wii U game with a LTD of just over 7 million, then you'll have Smash and Mario 3D World just behind at 6 million+ LTD.

Why wonder about something so stupidly obvious? What you should be wondering about is what I'm gonna change your avatar too!


Why would you change my avatar?

u have 2 bets, you lost with him with pokemon XY ( It hit 12.26mil official numbers) so you lose your avatar to him. As for me Capcom stated 4.1mil so if it does 4.2mil then i get 1 month of your sig control... Do you remember now? :0

There are a few that compare all the new games with the DS+Wii to make them look bad, he has done it with pokemon xy+AC+NSMB2+NSMBU+MK7+SM3DW+ (you get the point) and now unsurprisingly with MK8. All jokes aside if WiiU sold 15mil lifetime and MK8 sold 20mil he would say something again like this lol :p

It won't. I wonder if you came here just for flaming.

I'd say the sales were 100% deserved.
