i highly doubt it guys. yes nintendo consoles will sell well, but i doubt very much that they will take second here in the states. mario kart will sell systems, but not as much as you think it will. honestly, everyone is going to be talking about halo 2 instead of mario kart. there are a lot of good games coming out however that are exclusive to the gamecube. and that makes me happy. oh, and ff:cc will sell systems as well. you know how these final fantasy fans are...
as much as i'd like to see nintendo return to the greatness it was with the super nintendo, it probably wont happen. i'm sorry i was so negative but i have to say it. halo 2 will sell more xbox'x alone because that is where all the hype will be. so unless mario kart is an epic game with online play, which i doubt will happen, it isnt going to sell as well as we know it should. granted, everyone i talk to and tell about mario kart, they get excited. so if this is the nastalgia game that everyone is looking for, here it is.. in the form of kart racing. i still will probably think that that snes version is the superior one.
