MKwii will definitely sell more in the first week and it will destroy GT5P in lifetime sales. Just look at how much the Europeans loved Mario and Sonic, and that wasn't even that good of a game. They will be all over MKwii

First week is somewhat likely, though we havent seen NA sales for GT5 P, also according to previews the game may have gone from fun to somewhat mediocore, this is coming from gametrailers, and ign.

We will see what happens, so far its highest review is an 8.8, higher than GT5 P.

Mario Kart has several scores over 8.8. For example, in America it has a 9 from Nintendo Power. In Japan it has a 9.25. I think it may have a 9 in EU. About the question, I don't know if MK will have higher 1st week sales than GT5 P. It should win in Japan. Overall, it will have much better sales, though.

The North American market the strongest market for the series will have a severe conflict of interest. Those who own multiple consoles will have a very difficult choice to make miss out on the spectacle, or pick up what amounts to the same game they played before.

You really think GTAIV is going to be basically the same game as before?

I couldn't resist. I enjoy your posts, but you left the door wide open.

Mario Kart is probably doing a lot better than GT5:P. This is just the dem... Prologue we're talking about here, and the previous one didn't even hit 2M on the PS2. Double Dash on the frigging Gamecube sold three times as much as that.

Gran Turismo 5 vs Mario Kart will be much more interesting. The previous GT did substantially better than the previous MK, but they were on completely different consoles than their current incarnations, and we still don't know how much the two are improved from their predecessors. Could go either way.
