Forums - Sales Discussion - Mario Kart Wii has crossed 20 MILLLION!!!!!

I'm not surprised a number of 3rd party companies have released unofficial plastic wheels, the temptation for buyers of this game to buy an extra wheel for every Wii-mote must mean huge moulded plastic sales!



Around the Network

That's indeed really huge! The next 2 games to reach that milestone are Wii Sport Resorts and New uper Mario Bros. Wii.



And all those critics slamming this game in favor of GTA IV (and I'm a fan of GTA) are eating crow (just denying it).



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

Wow.

Congrats... Here's to 10 Million more!

I remember that GTAIV got all the press, but MK Wii is proving to be the sales champion.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

The retailers must love this game because those plastic wheels are massive profit for them.
