Kotaku writes:This isn't confirmed, and we're going to have to wait until Media Create releases the "official" numbers, but apparently Mario Kart Wii moved 300,000 copies on launch day. To put things in perspective, Mario Kart DS did 160,000 at launch, while Mario Kart Double Dash did 180,000 on its first day.

Begs the question: what else is there to play on the Wii? Should be no surprise. Plus with how many Wiis there are out there, 300k isn't a huge number for a (probably) good game on the Wii. Mario Kart still has a good rep from the 64 days, and to some extent even the SNES days.

The main problem to me, seems to be that while movies enjoy front running advertising whenever a blockbuster comes out, most video games tend to just "come out" in the casual gamer's mind.

Yes the Wii is at over 20 million and only managed to sale 300k on launch day.. IN JAPAN...The best advice I can give you is to at least have a clue what you are talking about before you speak. Now you just look like a clueless tool to anyone who sees your post. Trashing the Wii and Nintendo is easy enough without posting epic failures like that. Halo 3 is at 100k sales in Japan. I doubt it outsold MK on its first day.Gears sold 80k since launch. Again not a MK killer in sales either.

Can you say "Bye bye bubbles...."? What the hell were you trying to prove anyways? Oops. Guess I shouldn't ask that since you're out of BUBBLES.
