It’s been announced today that Mario Kart Wii has sold a staggering 28 million copies. That’s basically one game for every three Wii consoles. Clearly Nintendo are hoping to replicate the success of the game when it launches Mario Kart 7 on the Nintendo 3DS December 2nd in Europe and December 4th in the United States.

Actually, from what I can see, CoD doesnt reach that number when you even combine all the system together of a specific title.

Awesome news, this one is my favorite in my eyes. I know people are critical of the bikes, use of Funky/Daisy, hackers, and uncanny amount of luck with disrupting victories with power items BUT I think it is still the most fun to play. Online is fun when hackers aren’t around, and it’s nice to go from last to first in the last stretch of the race from a lucky draw. I don’t see this happen often, but I’ve been on the positive and negative side of it and it doesn’t bother me. You can’t expect to win every race against every opponent on every course. I like the even playing field with luck carrying more weight than previous installments. I’ve been lucky enough to still win by a large margin, by a hair, and also felt the opposite end. I’ve lost races, but I play by “If you ain’t first, your last” and will “crash my kart trying to win”

A huge chunk of those sales are due to the game being bundled with the majority of Wii consoles.
LikeLike
I’m sure without the bundle it did quite fine. It was a good reason to get the system, I’d have gotten the bundle if I wasn’t a launch day owner.
LikeLike
True the game is bundled now. But that was only added like a half a year ago. Most of the sales was from before it got bundled.
LikeLike
about 25 million sales was before the bundled
even Mario kart DS pass 20 million
