*Based on Nintendo’s internal sales figures.

**Mario Kart 8 launched on Thursday, 29th May in Japan and Friday, 30th May across Europe and The Americas.


So shipped?

Plus digital, most likely. Sold through should be close though.

I have to say that I underestimated the game, in my head I had a prediction of 700k-1100k, but was thinking closer to 700k. And now ioi is suggesting that the Wii U might have even outsold the PS4 for the week (but...well let's not talk about this sites' tracking accuracy), so I must openly admit that I underestimated MK8.

Holy shit! Those numbers are raaaaaping! And MK always had legs. It's probably going to be 3m by the end of June.

Not necessarily: Nintendo has a system that lets them track retail sales in more or less real time.



Been playing it all weekend and I've been having a blast. Well deserved. ^_^

Who actually bet against Mario Kart?



Whoops!



wow. This game is huge!



The real question is how many Wii U have been sold

Since Mario Kart 8 release.



Great sales for a great game.

Hopefully it goes from strength to strength now
