OMG that's hilarious!
Wait a minute, Polygon seriously projected 1.26MM sales for the LIFE of MK8?!
If so, that was dumb.
To put this in perspective:
About 20% of the current userbase bought the game on the first weekend
And people doubted the power of Mario Kart.
What free game did you get with the promotion, or do you have them already?
why so surprised?
Despite the game's rapid sales, Mario Kart 8 is still likely to be the worst-selling title in the franchise's history. For a complete breakdown, check out our analysis piece on Mario Kart.
man I hope Bayo 2 can get those kind of numbers
I don't see how that's possible given this pie chart.

Did they? Their sums work out if they mean first week (based on the 6m install base figure) surely they realised that the userbase would grow ...
Did they explicitly say LTD? If so that's incredibly dumb.
I'm not sure what they were actually projecting. The chart has 1.26MM but doesn't really explain in what timeframe; it looks like lifetime, since they're comparing it to other LTD Mario Kart totals, but in the article they also claim that it might reach 1.99MM by the end of March 2015.
Now it's just a question if they can use E3 to keep up the momentum.
In terms of games, I don't think they have anything until Hyrule Warriors, and then nothing till Smash.

People should stop saying it's the hardcores who are buying the game, MK seems to be legitimately attracting non-WiiU owners.
