Mario Kart 8 quadrupled Wii U weekly sales, says Fils-Aime
Fils-Aime also noted that 18 percent of Wii U owners purchased a copy of the game in its first weekend, but this number likely includes sales of the game from the bundle that was offered upon release. Still, the numbers are nothing to sneeze at, as the game topped 1 million on release weekend, making it the fastest-selling Wii U game to date.
Now we wait to see which game for Nintendo's console, if any, will knock Mario Kart 8 out of first place with a well-timed blue shell.

I'm actually glad it did. I know how the Wii U was struggling but I feel the sales will only keep increasing, you have the new Mario Kart out, the new Super Smash Bros coming out, and a few other games, so it's looking good for Nintendo!

Not a game that I would buy or anyone that I know would buy this, but I guess this is more for children.
