I bought it.
Wii U's first party efforts have been amazing. I bought it for Bayo 2, but have been very happy with the 1st party software released in the interim. They're just game ass games. Wonderful.
Impressive.
Mario Kart generally has legs that dwarf those, which is really what makes this exciting. Eager to see the effect on Hardware.20% isn't actually all that ridiculous, games like Halo 3 have done upwards of 35% I believe, Gears of War did around 20% too, and Titanfall XB1
Still very impressive of course. Should see a meaty bump in HW in Japan and Americas!!!
OMG !!!! soooooooooooooooooo gooood laughing OUT LOAD HERE holy shit

The most shocking part of this result is that Kuchera actually got something right. Must be a sign or the End Times, someone grab a bible and check.
lolI don't see how that's possible given this pie chart.
This game is going to keep selling for a while. IIRC, last year, Mario Kart Wii (2008) sold one million copies, co-existing with the ~10 million copies seller Mario Kart 7. So yeah, I do think this will move some systems. I'm hopeful WiiU can achieve GCN numbers after all is said and done.Hell of an attach rate, but is it going to sell consoles in the long term? A 25% attach rate to existing customers isn't going to save Wii U, but selling 4-5 million more consoles as a direct result of MK8's release will do some good. Mario Kart games have legs, so I could see at least a couple million hardware units sold in the coming year due to MK8.
(That said, I haven't bought MK8 and don't plan to. It's a series I haven't cared about much since the original. X is the game I really want at this point.)
It will sell more than super circuitYou know it could sell 1.2 million in its first weekend and still be the worst selling Mario Kart overall, right?
Holy damn, guess that answers rhe TF vs. Mk thread. I knew it'd sell great but that's jist amazing.
What does that even mean?I don't see how that's possible given this pie chart.
Wow, way better than expected. Now drop the price to $250 with Mario Kart included and we may get some real numbers.
The Wii U won't ever get close to Wii sales, but I don't see why they can't salvage it and get to 25 or 30 million.
I'm afraid it's over now, guys.
Again:
Although he endorsed them, those are NOT Kuchera's predictions or his article.
It may be a small distinction, but it's one that should be mentioned anyways in the interest of accuracy.
What does that even mean?
theres a twitch mario kart 8 stream with almost 100k viewers... lol
(dont ask me )
Well deserved and I got fucking Pikmin 3, could not ask for more?
Been playing MK8 and the graphics, how it handles and the fun factor are all amazing!!
Just played a little bit of Pikmin 3 and that game oozes with atmosphere, looks like a very solid game, thanks MK8!!

tehe
who wants to bump it?
Hopefully this means we can finally get a respite from the incessant Wii U forlorn appraisals.
I can see it getting Gamecube numbers. Still though, to say this will be the worst selling Mario Kart was laughable. I am predicting around 6 million LTD at least.
