Wonder if it can make the 20 million mark?

I believe this game will outsell all games, with the exception of.

1 bundled  Wii game

2 other Wii games

2 bundled NES games.

1 bundled GB game

2 Pokemon games on GB

Between 1-3 DS games.

I had a thread asking what was the highest selling NON-BUNDLED / NON MULTI-VERSION (Such as Pokemon Red / Blue etc.) game.

The winners I believe are still
either
Super Mario Land (I Thought it was bundled - no proof)
and
GTA: San Andreas. (Two versions dictated by ESRB, but that was a forced court judgement for a label on the box for what is essentially the same game)

Mario Kart Wii came up in the conversation...
The question was asked is this considered a bundled game?, and I think that my answer was "No". It comes with a piece of plastic, that is essentially unnecessary to play the game.

If the game never becomes part of a Wii bundle, I can see this becoming the highest sold game (Non-Bundled at any time in its sales history) of all time.
We aren't even past Christmas yet, I can see it hitting 11-11.5 by the end of the year, and limp out another 6 million in 2 years or less easily.

Pretty amazing.

If casuals knew what snaking does they wouldnt have bought MKDS.

 Im glad females buy casuals games that will benefit the hardcores later on. All Ubisoft titles on DS are selling nice.

 the real fact is Mkwii will sell because it comes with a Wii wheel for Easy gamers. 

How would you know that? I'm guessing between 1/3 and half of the people who bought MKDS hasn't even played online!That means snaking doesn't even matter.

And so what if it sells much because it comes with the wheel? It isn't like they are buying it to use the wheel in another game. If the only reason MKWii sells so much is the wheel, then I have to say Microsoft are some stupid retards for not packing Forza with a wheel (I use MS as I notice the person I quote has a 360)

Quite an achievement. I'm thinking at least 15 million by the end of the gen. Somewhere between that and 17 million would be my guess.

 So you are expecting it to sell only 3-5M after christmas? That seems very pessimistic to me. I see it reaching 15M by May (2.5M in the next 6 weeks, 125K average for 20 weeks)

Sorry I think I say that wrong.  I meant to say end of 2009 for that 15-17 million number.

This game is going to just tear up the charts for a while, then. I wonder how long it will manage to stay consistently in the top ten before dropping out permanently.

I blame Wii Fit.

YAY!!!!! congratz....to the game...w00t! >_> ^_^
