ow, tk you :)

Pokemon Sun/Moon didn't make it? Or X/Y, or MK8, Smash Bros, 3DWorld?

I'm very surprised if Nintendo really haven't had a game debut 1st in over 5 years.

As for MK8:D being first, it's to be expected, especially looking at the competition this week. Hell Ghost Warrior 3 came 2nd and if you look at Ghost Warrior 2 that game sold like crap.

Where is Curl?

It will be interesting to see hardware sales numbers at the end of the first week of May.

Despite the small installbase, I think over 1 million first week worldwide is a given at this point!

Even a blind hen sometimes finds a grain of corn.

Hopefully Nintendo continues to have a resurgence this generation. Witnessing the Wii U fail was incredibly frustrating. It looks like Nintendo and Sony are going to have a good generation (Sony already is), which works in my favour as I generally prefer Japanese games.

I wonder how well Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will do in the long run?

You know it's on when the game does very well even in the UK.

There's isn't a lot of competition right now, so it isn't too difficult for an AAA game to hit #1.

However, since Nintendo games usually sell very poorly in the UK, this is quite good.

i read on gaf that it had a better debut than MK7 & MK8
