Wii U sales in the UK are up 666% and were also way up in Japan outselling the PS4. I haven't seen anything about Wii U sales in the USA.

82% of the game sales numbers were people buying the MK8 Wii U bundle.

This with Super Smash Bros later in the year might have seriously saved the Wii U.

Watch Dogs was still the best selling game for the week but it had a huge head start since MK8 came out on Friday.

I'm a Diddy Kong Racing guy.

Not that it's topical in any way. I just wanted to get that out there. Good for Wii U. If I had the resources, I'd get it.

I am one of the people who bought the Bundle

Though I saw plenty of copies of the game itself still avaliable at Wal-Mart yesterday but the Bundle was sold out

I still can't imagine what the console market would have looked like with a Mario Kart as a launch title and Smash Bros a month later.

I am seriously considering getting Wii just for MK8 so I agree with your statement.

Saw that gif earlier. This angry Luigi face thing is pure magic.

The facial animations and attention to detail are simply incredible.

Few games have this degree of polish.

Good news.

Sustaining sales would be better news. They need another high profile title in June or something. SSB isn't until November most likely.

Looks like I am going to have to start using Luigi more.

I have been all Shy Guy up to now.

This might be better than all the funny comics going around about the Villager's soulless stare after he was announced for SSB4
