Just realized MK64 outsold the original on a lower installbase, impressive! Game is still jank tho!

It looks like MK8 will beat Double Dash and Super Circuit based on its legs so far.

SS is guaranteed to pass, I still think Passing DD is a little steep, but MK8 surprisingly is doing well. I was hoping for 4mil by the time it hit MK8 1year anniversary.

Nintendo needs to do another DLC pack (or 2). It just makes sense imo

I think it'll pass Double Dash. It's doing very well so far and I'm expecting it to do ~8 million LTD, which would put it ahead.

But that depends on Wii U, install base matters. I know I'll be helping it out sometime down the line when I get money (MK8 already have wii u) but still.

MK8 can surely sell around 8M copies on its LT

TBH, its the WiiU install base im more worried about. If WiiU goes on hitting 15mil-16mil then MK8 i definitely can see hitting 8mil. We'll see later.

A thought on what Nintendo can do. Drop the price for MK8 to $49.99 during this holiday and release a "best version" for $59.99 and Boom! 9mil+ MK8 shipped WW :o

MK8 has, as for now, almost a 54% attach rate which is huge. Even if the Wii U sells as low as 18 million, MK8 only needs about a 45% attach rate to sell 8 million which seems doable. It's possible that it doesn't happen, but I'm expecting it will.
