The last Mario Kart will eventually pass 10 million, if it hasn't already. The one before that is over 30 million.

Titanfall is a new IP, and the best selling Infamous chimes in under 3 million.

Congrats to Nintendo for nice MK8 sales, I bought it myself, but who in their right mind would have expected the other two games to outsell it?

Yup, this is what an actual system seller looks like. Poor Titanfall.


even though MK8 is definitely amoung the top advertised nintendo games in awhile, imagine if it had Titanfalls Hype + Advertisment @.@

I think most were talking about lifetime, not FW. Also, i thought many (including myself) thought TF was going to do 8mil-10mil lifetime! All that HYPE!



Infamous Second Son pulling the numbers it did after the underwhelming sales of Infamous 2 is a solid victory in itself same thing about Titanfall a completely new IP in the next gen system with the lowest install base (so far).

Anyone expecting Mario Kart 8 (which comes with a free digital game by the way) to bomb is delusional.



That 1.2 ml with digital, have any of you seen info on how inFamous or TF did digitaly FW? At least I heard of a lot of pre-orders on them in digital, so....

8-10 million for a new IP is just silly expectations, no matter the hype. Especially when the game is limited in terms of platforms.

The idiot from Polygon for starters lol, he pridicted around 1.2m lifetime sales if I remember correctly..?



Titanfall and Infamous are not of the same calibur as Mario Kart is to WiiU tho.

That's like comparing Halo and Gran Turismo to the opening of, say, a Donkey Kong game.

Coming from the guy who still thinks Infamous will somehow outsell Titanfall lol.


Being wrong on a prediction invalidates one's opinion? News to me. I got that one wrong, big deal. Do you have 100% accuracy in your predictions?

Of course not, but these posts here are obviously your little agenda of getting back at Titanfall for outselling Infamous. Even when Titanfall was far ahead with the weekly sales gap being huge you kept at it, trying to downplay sales. I guess now is when you'll finally admit it.
