Reggie: Mario Kart 8 had a “significant impact” on Wii U sales, console quadrupled the week after release
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime…
– Mario Kart 8 had a “significant impact” on Wii U console sales
– Wii U console quadrupled the week after the release of Mario Kart 8, compared to the week prior
– 18 percent of all Wii U console owners purchased a copy of Mario Kart 8 in that first weekend, compared to between two and seven percent for previous versions of the game during their weekend releases
– Reggie said the impact of Mario Kart 8 on console sales will likely be felt through the year.
“It’s one of the things I have to do with certain media, remind them, look, for us, the drive toward the holiday began a couple of weeks ago with Mario Kart 8. And that’s off to a fantastic start. For us, on a global basis, and certainly here in the United States, it’s driving hardware, which is great to see.”
