Well it looks like I just lost all my predictions lol :P

Bets:

So if this is shipped I'm going to guess around 1m for the first 4 days. Good numbers, Infamous took 9 days to sell 1m,

Infamous from PS4 took 9 days to sell 1m, Mario Kart 8 took only 72 hours for sell 1.2 m. :P

It has Mario in the name, it's bundled with a console that's much less expensive, Mario Kart 8 hasn't done those numbers yet. Comparing Mario to Infamous says much more about Mario than Infamous.

so people bought Wii U just... because? That's even great news

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...

Damn, so many people who have to give the game back because their Wii can't read the disc

Great numbers, hope it will boost Wii U sales and for more than a week.
