Mario Kart 8 is having pretty strong legs in the UK of all places..


It is having great legs in France too and is showing up in a lot of top 10 in different countries.

That's definitely great.. MK8 is an amazing game and it deserves to be played by as many people as possible..

What?

Watch_Dogs for PS4 first week: 200K, Mario Kart: 70K, and NOW???

Watch_Dogs sell less of Mario Kart...lol

And so!

where is the point?

mario kart has better legs than watch dogs! That's it you mean?

comparing one of the top nintendo's exclusive with a multiplatform game is for you an interesting thing to do?

Yes, because all user of this site have said on April-May "MarIO KarT Is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM"

And now sell more of Watch_Dogs that ALL have said that had to sell more... yeah.

This post doesnt make sense!

it isnt impressive that a game like mario kart released less than two months ago sells more than multiplatform on ps4 or a kind of exclusive game on xbox released in march...

i would think more about hardware weekly decresing on a likely 60k baseline and no releasing for months waiting the end of summer

Finally it is not related with USA selling at all!


You surely look like someone worried by the Wii U revival in the PAL region. Two months is more than enough to see the legs of the games, which are absolutely great. The bundle is selling ver well also across Europe.

MK8  has put the Wii U on the map,a nd its effect will not only last until the end of the year, but well after.


Not at all....strong legs from a game like mario kart is easily predictable...pointing it,looks like showing that the console is not dead....your topic is for brainless supporters.

in the end,despite the interesting selling the number of consoles moved is still small,just a blind supporter could be satisfated of them,but it's better than the situation before mario kart coming

Oh please. It's like Nintendo fans just can't help getting ahead of themselves.

Ok

i understand it makes you happy,but the comparison is a little meaningless and pretty childish,as well.

Nice to see MK8 rise. Really great performance for a game that exists on the smallest userbase of this gen.

I have seen two ads on (portuguese) youtube for the game, since saturday. If that is happening across Europe it might explain the rise in sales.

Everything was flopping hardcore on Wii U. MK8 is the first game which sold very well (already more than 2 millions outside holiday seasons). It is not only shwoing great legs, but it has also a lasting effect on consoles sales in the West.

MK8 basically showed that the Wii U wasn't dead and put it back into the race. It won't be a sub 15 millions discontinued console like people were predicting here.

You're getting a little too excited here. So MK8 outsold WD PS4 by a couple thousand units in the UK this week, overall WD has still sold over twice as much as MK over there. Also MK was always going to sell well, the Nintendo audience is crazy about that franchise, people doubted its system moving qualities and we'll see how those look in July.

A lasting effect... sure. Just out of curiousity, what do you think the Wii U will do lifetime now, that Mario Kart "had a lasting effect on console sales in the west"?
