   What do you mean by just Zelda left? cause in the yearly chart the zelda switch is the top 1.

He means that Zelda is the only game left that Mario Kart hasn't passed in the yearly chart.

I think Mario Kart 8 will sell a million first day in the US alone.

That would be pretty impressive, considering there's likely only a little more than a million Switches sold in the US by now. Are you expecting the game to be above 100 % acquisition rate, the way Zelda was last month?

 

(All I can say is that I'm doing my part, and have Mario Kart pre-ordered. It will be a nice change of pace from my Persona 5 addiction)

I can see the switch sell 300k or maybe even 400k this month so it sales would be around 1.2m-1.3m and its launching so far from Zelda so many Switch owners have played a good deal of Zelda and are ready for Nintendos next big game. Also its the first huge MP focused Switch game so i think it will do really well. And it has Mario in the name :D.

I think it can surpass the Wii U version's 430k, but a million seems out of reach. If you assume that around 1.3 million people in the US will have a Switch at the time of MK8D's launch, over a million is a 77% attach rate. Not even the Nintendomination poll has that high of an attach rate, and I'd expect forum-goers to be a lot more hardcore than the overall audience.
