Mario Kart is a mass market game, Smash is a niche game. And I personally do not like Smash at all, I rented the N64 version and it was very simple and boring and did not offer deep gameplay like Killer Instinct Gold or Soul Calibur.


The N64 version is very slow though. It was the very first game in the series! I bet if you gave the new one a chance, you'd enjoy it.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

The people that are wrong are the ones that think that Smash will outsell MK8.

First week, Smash will probably beat Mario Kart.
First year, maybe even that.

Lifetime though? Probably not, Mario Kart will have way better legs.

Never been into smash brothers but hasnt it historically only been a mediocre seller like zelda with a hardcore following that lacks mainstream acceptance compared to mario kart and 2d mario?

not even close, SSB will be amoung the top 3 best sellers of the WiiU lifetime, and it was the #1 most sold game on GCN. If you exclude the "Wii" title games, SSB Is the 3rd best selling Wii Game. And finally on the N64 where it debuted (and very late in the gen) its the 5th highest sold game on the N64. 

SSB is amoung the best of the best selling home console games

Also Zelda=/=Mediocre seller.
