MK8 doubled the WiiU's baseline, so yes! MK8 is indeed doing its job!

Let's be fair here, it wasn't MK8. It was Shovel Knight. Without Shovel Knight, MK8 and the WiiU would be dedzerosubs.

Wait, this is sarcasm, right?

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

Of course! Wii U haters are silent now that they understand that good games can sell the console.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

will be the best selling home console exclusive game of this gen on the worts selling console.

What do you think the lifetime sales of MK8 will be? This seems preposterous.

10M+

i think:MK wii got 35% of atach rate, and lots of people bought wii only because of wii sports. and it sold 1 million last year with wii dead.

i think it can reach 50% atach rate on wii U. this game is better than MK wii.

until 2018, 2019 there is lot of room for price drops on the wii u mk bundle.

I admire your spirit, but there's no way that a non-bundled game (even tho MK8 is bundled) will get to 50% attach rate. It's a near impossibility over the lifetime of a console.
