Well Wii Sports is the best selling game of all time. 


And it's bundled so again, will any Nintendo exclusive game sell more than Mario Kart Wii that isn't shipped?


Probably wont happen. Dont know why thats a factor though. I mean are Sony not allowed to bundle games with the PS4?

The game that sold the most on ps2 is GT3 with almost 15m. By the way, most Sony fans expect more than 100m. Hardly anyone believe that ps4 would have ps2 level of success.

Edit: forgot about GTA san andreas.

Who the hell thinks PS4 will sell over 150M? O.o

They did it with the PS2. Why is it impossible now?

Lol because Sony isn't going to ship a bundled game for years and years and years, it's a ridiculous question.  Lol it didn't even sell 35 mil, somehow giving something essentially for free is now considering selling?

Mario Kart Wii stands at 35 million sales on a userbase of 101 million.

Given that PS4 is widely expected to outsell the Wii lifetime, and that many expect it to even outsell the PS2's record of 150 million, will an exclusive on it sell more than Mario Kart Wii?

What say you?

Slight correction. A few wishful thinkers expect...

Many people think 120 million is on the cards, most people think 100 million is likely/possible, only a few people think 150 million+ is on the cards.

Fixed the OP to "that some expect".

No, Playstation user base is generally very diverse, which leads to pretty much every type of game having a chance to sell good numbers granted that it's well made. But it also means that no one game sells ridiculous numbers.

In contrast everyone who buys a Nintendo console is interested in the same 5 games and they all buy those same games and everything else has little to no chance of selling well. Also let's not overlook the fact that Mario Kart Wii was a free pack-in game for the Wii, otherwise it usually sells around 8 million.


Gotta love the internet, someone's always trying to start a flame war. But seriously recurring characters does not mean the games are the same. I bought a Wii U and yet I'm interested in games from most genres and many different non-Nintendo franchises so your quantifier "everyone" fails.

Well if they ever make a game thats as popular as MK, then maybe they will...

Lack of DVD utility appeal, Japan has crashed, Won't be continued for 12 years. 

Pick one.

Except again, they won't ship a for years and years, Mario Kart Wii is a  special case because of the motion controls. Sony doesn't stick too one game for the rest of the consoles life cycle. I mean, lol it's not hard to do what Nintendo did, you think giving out 1 single game for free is hard? lol.
