We all knew Mario Kart Wii was going to sell well, but I thought it would've dropped off by now. Hasn't it consistently been in the Worldwide top 5 since it's release? Wow, when is it going to stop? I won't be surprised if it passes 10 million or even 12 million at this point. What a monster...

Yeah, it is.

You forgot to mention that it's also one of the most played online (non-mmo) games.

I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

Yeah, Brawl has done well, but it's got nowhere near the legs MK Wii has. It's crazy. What a success.

I think this says a lot:
http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=Others&game1=Mario+Kart+Wii+-+Wii&reg2=Others&game2=&reg3=Others&game3=&weeks=20&weekly=1

Week 8 is 30K smaller than week 19.

It's not holding up like that in Americas though.
http://vgchartz.com/swlaunch.php?reg1=America&game1=Mario+Kart+Wii+-+Wii&reg2=Others&game2=&reg3=Others&game3=&weeks=20&weekly=1

It's decreasing fairly slowly, but still decreasing. Week 12 was bigger than week 7 though.

Japan isn't all that bad.

Still think its several millions away before it "stops" selling.

Kart is a game that often follow a high attach rate( is at 22% ) and lets face it, there is going to be alot more Wii sold in the future.

If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing (mostly)
