Yeah, the few 8 million people who bought Mario Kart 8...

Its still one of the worst selling MK titles, MK7 has sold 14 million and is still outselling it to this day despite being 2.5 years older.

8 million is only good when comparing it to the install base of Wii U.

It outsold Super Circuit and Double Dash, and it's also not too far behind Super Mario Kart. That's pretty good to me.

Ill be the first to admit:For a non Wii U owner, this first year line up looks excellent(Im also assuming that there are still some big and dmall games to be announced).But for a Wii U owner, this lineup range from decent to good, depending on how good 3D Mario, Pikmin and the Mario RPG is.

But all in all, we havent had such a solid first year/launch window is a long while.

For a wii u owner its completely useless. 3D mario is all there is.

I still doubt pokemon stars is anything more than a spin-off aswell. So... yeah. Looks bad to me. Not interested at all.

Not entirely true as come when Switch launches it should be the 5th or 4th best selling game as right now it's closing in on SMK (may have already outsold it) on the SNES and can likely go on to outsell MK64. That's far from the worst selling, MK7 is being sold to a userbase of 60m and growing.

Regardless the original point Spemig made is correct as what's relevant to Switch's success is not how many Wii U owners migrate but how many 3DS owners migrate because if every non Wii U owning 3DS owner bought a Switch the console would become Nintendo's third best selling console.



Xenoblade X port!!!

For now (of course there will more new games) we know for 3D Mario, Pikmin 4 and Mario and Rabbids RPG.

Rumours specifically saying that Pokemon Stars is 3rd game to Pokemon Sun and Moon, so you really don't have any reason to suspect that is spin off.

Well, it still depends on how good that Mario RPG is(not holding my breath for it), and tgere is the rumored Retro Ip comming.On top of the third parties and stuff.Personally I think its decent at least, but I agree that is subjective.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I didnt say worst selling, I said ONE OF THE WORST SELLING, it has outsold 2 MK games while 5 games have outsold it.

It might get close to SMK but no way is it going to sell another 2 million to match MK64, Wii U is essentially done selling and if there are no more people buying the console than the chances of its software showing notable growth is slim.

Im not saying the game has sold poorly by any means, 8 million is still a huge number but when you look and see that MK7 has outsold it by 6 million and growing, it shows that it has not sold to its full potential.

What im getting at is essentially the same thing Spemanig is, if those millions of 3DS owners who never owned a Wii U get a Switch than thats millions of potential new sales for these updated ports along with any people who may decide to double dip since they are rumored to have a good deal of original content.

I dont mean to say the game hasnt sold well, it has, i just mean it hasnt sold to its fullest potential because of the system its on. MK7 has outsold it by 6 million and growing so a very large percentage of Nintendo's current audience has not played it.

According to whom exactly I remember Polygon claiming it would sell that well and guess how that turned out, Wii U was done over a year ago it still hasn't stopped MK8 selling, it'll likely outsell SMK by the end of the year and then outsell MK64 because it was at 8m a few months ago. MK7 is on a platform that has 6 times the userbase that's a poor argument for what you're trying to argue as it should be outselling MK8, by the end of it MK8 would likely be the 4th best selling game in the franchise just by sales on Wii U alone that's far from being one of the worst selling.



Am I the only person wondering what exactly "The Silver Case" is????



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
