Forums - Nintendo - Mario Kart Wii 25 million Possible??

It is the monster, must have, plays well alone, coop, or on-line game that appeals to all age groups for the Wii.

Until something comes like that, it will continue to sell in impossible to find numbers.

Why else could stores charge a 50% mark-up on wheels (from MSRP) and get away with it.

I am Mario.


I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

25 million guaranteed. Probably in Spring/Summer 2010.

It has had just 2 weeks below 160K since it came out!



Oh god...i hope not... but yeah. So far its had great legs, i certainly think it is possible.

Nope. Expect it to dive once MySims racing comes out :p



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Considering its the first game most people get when they buy their wii, yeah, its possible



I hope my 360 doesn't RRoD

Hell yes! it has a 30% attach rate and I don't think it will get much lower then that.



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

I haven't really thought about it, but Wii Play could easily top 50m lifetime the way the Wii is selling. This is assuming the Wii sells around 150m lifetime, and Wii Play get a 33% attach rate, which isn't unreasonable.

As for the other two, I could see them both doing 25m or more. They are currently outpacing Wii Play and have vastly outpaced Nintendogs, which is currently at 20m, and they show no signs of slowing down. Last week alone MKWii sold >400k, and Wii Fit sold >580k




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

Of course it will reach that milestone, what a question :).
