Yes I am sure that Mariokart 8 sold a shitload, Wii U owners have literally had nothing of note to play in ages, what else are they going to buy? If I throw some rotten meat at a group of starving dogs they will eat it up after all.
And Mariokart selling 35 million on the Wii means nothing, there were 100 million Wii owners out there to buy Mariokart wii. Do you seriously think Mariokart 8 will sell anywhere near that? Because if you do you are delusional when the Wii U has sold 6 million consoles in almost three years.
And I have to laugh at the Nintendo fanboy smugness, having the audacity to use the word "original" when talking about a game in its 8th iteration lol. Nintendo don't have an original bone in their body, they are incapable of coming up with new ideas. The bottom line is Nintendo games on consoles don't appeal to the vast majority of gamers. You are the minority. If people gave two shits about Nintendos oh so original and expertly grafted offerings the Wii U would be number one, not stone cold last after a two year head start. So if you enjoy what you enjoy that's fine, but get off your little pedestal and put your bullhorn away.
Do you see where it is going?
Do not fool yourself,and be biased over Nintendo.
It does'nt mean shit.Be open to fantasy, enjoy originality (that you can find on non Nintendo consoles).
Ps exlusives: last of us, uncharted, uhm... oh yeah! killzone and resistance!
So original... I think I played those games hundred of times before.
