Mario Kart 8 is outselling Infamous:SS among others

People seem to forget that Mario Kart Wii sold about 30 million copies. This is not that surprising.

I'd say it kind of is considering Wii U is selling like ass, even adding the fact that, at launch, Mario 3D World (one of Nintendo's other key games for Wii U) got it's ass kicked by Knack (in the UK; and it continued) and Lightning Returns (in Japan; 3D World overthrew it eventually though).

This is amazon. The place where a 99c download off theif was the top selling game last month

Sheep are really grasping for straws here

Mario Kart 8 will most likely outsell infamous second son by the end of this gen anyway.

Well put.

The Sheep hug onto that Amazon link like a UFC grappler. It's the only link that makes the Wii U look better since it's up against random things like PSN cards and a steering wheel. Very desperate

Thank goodness I don't support a system that has to depend so heavily on one game. That's so sad lmao

So now Sheep care about sales? Do Sheep even play MK8? Why aren't they karting online now with one of the biggest games they'll ever get?

I didn't say I didn't care about Infamous. It didn't lose anything. It's a late March game. DK: Tropical Freeze came out one month earlier and is completely dead and still hasn't sold anywhere close to a million units.

The MK8 sales are good (it will be Wii U's highest-selling game), but the PS4 version of Watch_Dogs still outsells MK8. Sony gamers do buy games considering Watch_Dogs, Infamous:SS and Killzone: SF all crossed the million mark (and all three PS4 games are now guaranteed to pass 2 million soon). Show me how many Wii U games even touched the 1 million mark. It's a disappointingly small "list" for a console out the longest.

Conclusion #1: Nintendo owners love to buy Nintendo 1st party exclusives and MK games. Sales for third-party, however, are terrible. Great MK8 sales today =/= immediate third-party support tomorrow (depending on how publishers look at these results).

Conclusion #2: Sony gamers buy more games, have more online games to play and more gamers to play with than the Wii U does, and so Killzone:SF can have the lowest population ever and, honestly, it won't mean crap. Publishers are still sticking with the PS4 more than Wii U from here on out. Nothing has changed.

Do the Sheep have anything more earth-shattering to share in terms of comparisons? Because these Amazon links and Killzone/CoD comparisons barely register on the scale of importance when it comes to the future of the PS4. They're like poorly thought-out comparisons made from idly browsing Amazon and thinking "Oh, this would make a good thread" because one Wii U thingy is higher/bigger than another PS4 thingy," without much of a compelling point about where these consoles really stand in the industry.

Sheep seem to favor weak comparisons and observations because, obviously, using more comprehensive data and better charts make the Wii U look worse. It manages to bring the Sheep back down to Earth, which is amazing for land mammals of that size

It'll outsell it several times over when all is said and done.

I thought Sheep didn't care about sales lol.

Just like cows didn't back in the PS3 era, you mean? :-3

Thing is that was last gen though. Sheep claim not to care about sales within the same gen lol. After MK8 falls off the charts you guys will be back to not caring about sales XD

Mario Kart 8 is making me want to buy a Wii U, but the Wii U controller is keeping me from buying one. Infamous and Killzone are not and have never been big sellers, so I'm not surprised.

While you're giving it benefit of the doubt ("oh it's a popular video game therefore it's gonna sell") keep in mind that, this is the WiiU.

It's currently #14 on Amazon's Best of 2014 and currently outselling the PS3 version of GTAV, 360 version of COD Ghosts and Minecraft, and PS4's Infamous and Watchdogs.

it's literally the only game worth buying a wii u for right now so pretty much every console sold should = a sale.

LOL, what the hell ever. The "Wii U has no games" argument is hardly valid anymore. It has been out a year and a half and is finally starting to hit it's stride with some great titles to pick one up for. For instance, here is what I am currently enjoying:

Mario Kart 8

Super Mario 3D World (more amazing than I could have ever dreamed)

ZombiU

Nintendo Land

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Zelda Windwaker HD

Wii Sports Club

On the agenda:

The Wonderful 101

Pikmin 3

Super Mario Bros U

Lego City Undercover

Looking forward to:

Hyrule Warriors

Bayonetta 2

X

Zelda U

Super Smash Bros.

I am probably missing a few, plus I am sure we are in for more surprises. Then of course it's also the only system that is backwards compatible, there are no bullshit subscriptions for online and it is also cheaper. You see? There is a mountain of reasons to buy one.

mario kart is the only game out right now that will cause a lot of console sales so yes it is literally the only game right now.

Sure pikmin, super mario 3d/u ~ cool but w/e

Wii Sports Club, ZombiU, Nintendo Land~ LAWLS no one cares

Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, X, Zelda U, Super Smash Bros.~ ~Not even released so once again the only game wii u has right now

35 million units. It is the highest selling game of all time (not counting bundled ones like Wii Sports).

So, yeah, I'm not surprised that 2 popular games for $49 beat out one for $60.

Mario Kart Wii was also bundled with the console as well, just saying.

Do sheep even care that all the Wii ewww is getting is sequels to decades old games?

@augustevans: All that PS4 and Xbox One have ARE sequels.

Well infamous came out in March... so this isn't really that surprising
