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.

Smash Bros. will also help the sales. The gameplay (so I've heard) will be just as competitive as melee was. Really excited for it.

I'm kind of surprised. Mario Kart 8 videos are all over YouTube. Even kids I know are getting into the Wii U and just months ago no one was aware of it.

I didn't think it would get anywhere near as many as quadrpled the weekly sales, but I knew that Mario Kart 8 would help out with the Wii U's sales a good amount.
