3.5 million copies of Mario Kart 8 sold

Almost every other Wii owner has a copy.
Jonas Mäki Editor Sweden 31 October 2014

Nintendo is once again making a profit and Wii U sales have increased to more healthy levels. But it gets even better. Nintendo has now announced that Mario Kart 8, a game that has a huge part in the increased success, has sold 3.5 million copies worldwide.

That is outright amazing numbers considering that there aren't more than 7,29 million sold Wii U units out there. That means that almost every second Wii U owner is turbo boosting and shooting blue shells at each other.

Thanks, Joystiq.
