Forums - Gaming - MK8 WILL keep Wii U at the top of charts for a long time

Mario Kart 8 doubled the WiiU's baseline from 30k to 60k and that's what matters the most!

Exactly... I dont see why people call mario kart 8 a fail or something like that! It is the first sign of hope for a console that is considered dead by most people.

Maybe smash will be the next thing that helps out a lot and then we still have the strong lineup of 2015....

I know that the wii u isnt the next big thing, but it can only get better from now on, right?



If you're interested in Nintendo content and understand german, maybe you want to take a look at my youtube channel! :)

i agree that it did it's job (and did it well) but some people in here were a bit overexcited.

To be honest i was just bored and looking for something i could bump and this was the best i could find.

Ont: Depending on how fast PS4 drop i would say.. But i expect WiiU to stay around 100.000 for minimum, and when the other big titles hit mayby (if all go well) it will go up to 150.000 - 200.000 every week..

And like me sig says.. I fully believe WiiU will be back as leading console in 2015..

I think it's entirely realistic for the Wii U to stay consistantly in the 100K range with the right games between now and Super Smash Bros, and E3 it the perfect place to announce what those games could be.

Sure! Hoping that MK8 alone would triple or quadruple the WiiU's baseline was kinda silly if you ask me...

The Wii U is still the best selling Nintendo home-console right now!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

Amen brother



Lol at those predictions though.



Thanks jlmurph!

WiiU guys are going to have to just settle for last place. I don't know how anyone expected Mario Kart to move WiiU into first anyway. It's done some things for the console but how long can a single game's effect on sales last?

Yeah? Well whent he lead is at 96-100k that 60k can't possibly be "what matters the most".
