Forums - Gaming - Mario Kart 8 in Europe pass the sales Japan

Not that surprising considering the fact hat there's no MK8 bundle in Japan.. Plus, MK titles have been doing better in Europe than in Japan for quite a while now.. Take Double Dash for example: it sold 1.77 million in Europe, while it sold 870k in Japan!

It's unprecendented for Nintendo to have a non-packaged game stay in the top 5 in Europe while, at the same time, outselling other regions.


You do know that europe is not a country, right?


When DerNebel was questioning what I was saying, He was questioning my reply to the sales in the UK. The UK is a country. When I went to explain what I meant, I went into a bit more detail and included Europe (since the UK is a part of Europe and "Europe" appears to be the topic of the thread). 

Actually when I was asking you I was wondering which country you were talking about fearing that you thought Europe was a country, I had no idea you were talking about the UK.

This is unprecedented for a Nintendo title in that country. Perhaps this was the title Nintendo needed to get back up on their feet... But then again...

I remember a person saying that the reason why the Wii U is selling isn't just because of Mario Kart 8 (even though that's the biggest contributor to the Wii U's sales), but because casuals are interested in Mario Kart 8 and realizing that the game is for a new system, which for all of this time, was thought to be just a simple add-on. According to this person, Mario Kart 8 established polarity between the Wii and the Wii U among casuals.

Umm who taught you that Europe is a country?



Dem legs though :)

When it comes to the UK and the rest of Europe, people tend to combine the two. I suppose that's because video game sales are typically much larger than the UK. However, it has been shown that both France and Germany are getting rather close to the sales in the UK. Even with that said, finding a publication that separates the UK from the rest of Europe is a bit difficult. So, when referring to UK sales, people just say Europe. Often times, vice versa.

If you can't comprehend what I'm saying, then I'd say you have a personal problem on your hands.

I'll simplify it for you.

 

*ahem*

 

Europe Numbers vs UK Numbers:
-------------------------------------------

UK Numbers > Europe Numbers

HOWEVER...

France + Germany = UK Numbers

 

Because publications combine UK and Europe numbers together. People interchange UK with Europe when it comes to video games sales.
