It probably will as its got Mario in the title...

I played the game most of this weekend and while its fun, its an average racer with way too many power ups that make the game very unbalanced.

Take Mario characters away and it would sell 50K tops. Snes Mario Kart still head and shoulders above all Mario Karts that followed...

lucky :( did you import it in canada ? 27th seem soooo far away

edit : nice you have 666 post your evil !

 


Lol...good notice about the 666 thing.

Nah, didn't import it...I modded my wii few months back for this exact reason...I hate waiting for games. This does not mean I am pirating games and selling crack to kids... I own 11 wii games thus far including SSBB which I bought 2 weeks ago. It's pretty much assured that I'll buy Mario Kart as soon as it comes out...

Its also a good way to try out the games as nintendo has no demo service what so ever...

I will not be buying ninjabread man and sega bass fishing...and I did download them. Thats right...call the cops.

They are on there way. LOL.

 

There has to be a way that we can try out a new game without buying it. How about renting them. You do not have to resort to piracy.

 

OT yes I think it will sell 1m. It will be close but I think it will just fall over the line. 

 



 


 

I think Others always only gives games 2 days to sell on their opening week.

Doesn't the second week of sales sometimes eclipse the first week, for a big game, in Others?



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

I think it will break a million. It'll be close either way.

Yeah, renting is cool and I do rent a lot...but keep in mind that my roomate works for Rogers video(like blockbuster video in Canada) So really it doesn't matter for me...If I want to try out a game I can rent it for free or just download it...

maybe, but i think if it doesnt it will be really close to a million



There is a high chance that this can happen given the support Others is giving to the Big Brain series from Nintendo. If that game can sell, MKWii should do 503,000 this week.

yes, usually...

but I think MK launched on Monday or Tuesday. That is why it was in the Netherlands charts this week, usually big title don't show up on the Neth charts until week 2... even GTp was not on the netherlands chart during week 1.

I am gonna launch when everyone calls MK a flop or whatever when it charts normal its first 2 weeks. (at least a 40% drop week 2)

I will sell 600k this week 350k week 2, 230 k week 3... THEN we shall see what kind of legs it has. I think it will settle at about 60-80k a week in others, and 20k a week in Japan for several months.



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

950k in first week



Like it matters - its a shoe-in for 1m by the 2nd week ;). I think its going to kill Brawl in terms of legs - my household is on edge waiting for MK (Brawl - whatever...). Its casual candy!
