 Doubtful, since I don't own a Wii yet. I'm gonna wait till past summer to see if 3rd party (proper) support kicks into gear first! But, this is the best reason I have to buy a Wii right now, and I've said all along that MK would be the pivot either way!



"Mario Kart Wii pre-orders spike 54,540%
Advanced orders for Nintendo Co.'s Mario Kart Wii spiked 54,540 percent at Amazon.com on Sat. upon availability.
The title leaped from the No. 5,464 rank to the No. 10 rank by Sat. morning on strong demand."

This entire news article pisses me off so much. Why the shit are they saying "54540%" ?????

For instance, the sales difference between the #1 product and the #2 product isn't 1%. And the sales difference between #3 and #5 isn't 2%. It's two numbers on their rankings, an arbitrary number system.

Christ, was this article written by a 3 year old?

Amazon rankings have nothing to do with percentages. Jesus christ.



A ranking system in a new Wii channel! Did I read that correct! Exictement is consuming me! Maybe there IS still hope for a SSBB world ranking!!!!!

PS: If this was already known, do not laugh at me for being so late on the news please :P

 Because that's how Amazon does it.  They took the number straight from amazon who also measures it as a percentage.   At least that's the case as far as i remember.

@ssj12: I think the traditional way how to hurt them is with a stick.

"Back off, man. I'm a scientist."

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.
