Forums - Sales - GTAIV Owns Mario Kart Wii

I think it's quite telling that both versions of GTA 4 from rival consoles had to be combined just to take Mario Kart on in this thread. Mario Kart Wii will at least outperform the PS3 version of GTA in LTD sales.



I am SuperLloyd!

(Im)patiently awaiting the Dawn of the New World!

GTAIV is yet to hit Japan (where it will have strong if not amazing sales),


I laugh at this part,

GTA IV may have a strong launch but Mkwii is going to have strong legs and eventually outsell GTA IV LTD.


There is no Grand theft auto on the consoles that sold less than any Mario kart;..Would be very strong legs;


You'd have to qualify that, since the PSP ports sold well on the PS2 (and would thus be on the consoles), but would be easily outsold by most of the MK games.

Plus DS actually is just about 500k behind GTA III.

Still a dumb competition, though. 



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

 Well yeah I thought it was obivious I was talking about the console games only and not some ports of the PSP ^^''.

Yups you are right about MK DS and GTA III it makes me wonder how much GTA III sold on XBOX because their are no sales of it..

It was sold in a double pack with VC, so you may have to look up that.

You also need to qualify that you are talking about GTAs after GTA 3 was released. Still too early to call on Mario Kart Wii vs GTA 4 lifetime imo, but I would definatly be favoring GTA 4 currently. I can see Mario Kart Wii outselling it on either the PS3 or 360, but not both combined.

Millions sellers on the PS1. They are there, but nowhere near the numbers of MK games. Aside from MK Wii, which is a new release, the lowest selling is Super Circut, which still sold nearly 6 million.

So both series are hit series. It's not surprising for both of these to open big.

Wow, it turns out people will compare apples to motor-oil in an effort to make the HD consoles look good ...

Mario Kart is a big selling important videogame for the Wii, but the best selling version of Mario Kart was on the DS and that only sold half as much as recent GTA games sold (when you factor in sales for all platforms). This is a lot like comparing Ratchet and Clank's sales to Super Mario Galaxy ...



we should all buy one of each that way no one has to fight id be even that way =)



of course mario kart wii is a fucking joke. i dont know who can play that gay shit.
