WD - 8m shipped / 180m consoles (not including pc) = tie ratio 4.4%

MK8 - 2m+ sold / 6.6m consoles = tie ratio 30%

Leaving out some crucial information in your analysis is definitely 'spinning'. 

Sales so not scale proportional to install base. If the Wii U had sold 66 million consoles at this point in time Mario Kart 8 would not have sold 20million units by now. Ignoring the fact that Mario Kart is a recognised franchise thats been building momentum for over 20 years is incredibly silly.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

VGChartz figured aren't counting digital sales correct? Neither is that "shipped" and "sold" number..

Point. I am VERY sure that the digital version of Watch Dogs on the PS4 has sold WAY more then the digital version of MK8 (Just the nature of the 2 consoles). So I would have to think there is a big difference between actual sales of of Watch Dog on the PS4, then MK8 on Wii U. At least a good 500k-1mil..

Its 100k+ this week and watch dogs is only 60,00+ on PS4

Guess the most hyped game of this gen will be passed by mario kart. YAY


MK8 cant even beat a new IP? It will only surpass it on vgchartz but reality will be quite different indeed.

MK8 will pass both COD Ghost and Watchdog PS4.

It matters only because it mean the best seller on Wii U > The best seller on PS4.

Mario Kart Wii  is at 33% , if we speak about ratio.

Mario Kart serie always has a great ratio compared to the console where they are. Mario Kart games also don' thave millions of unsold copies sitting on shelves or warehouses.

Why wouldnt sold include digital? And who are these people downloading a 20gig game? Also Mario kart had a promo that allowed you to get a discount on the digital download. Not saying you're wrong, i just dont see the digital download market on the the ps4,wiiu, or xb1 being that big considering game download sizes.

i think we could see 40% this time.  wii u is a core console. it doesnt has millions of casuals that just buyed it for wii fit so the ratio should be higher.

33% of ratio is actually great, I think on GC it was similar. But MK is stronger licence now. Even with that a 33% for MK8 would be a big success.
