Titanfall won't sell for years and years and years.
Mario Kart 8.

Unless they kill the Wii U like, tomorrow

Titanfall
Simply a much larger install base between the three platforms it's available on.

I'd say Titanfall will easily sell more (more platforms), but in a year I'd bet Mario Kart 8 will have more players.

Lol. Ones on a single platform that has no end to the amount of problems it has and the other is on 3 platforms. There are 80 million 360s alone. Just my sheer numbers Titanfall would win.
Doesn't mean either isn't a good game and I don't get the comparison.

Provided the Wii U remains relevant/for sale for at least a few more years then MK8 for sure. Titanfall already is tailing off in sales and it's not the type of game that is going to continue to sell for a long time, especially once a sequel/new hyped up FPS is released.

Gut tells me MK, since the series traditionally has long legs, but WiiU's pathetic install base and minimal momentum probably won't allow it.

Not even fair.
TitanFall is available on Xbone + 360 + PC

Titanfall.
The console it was primarily released for will have sold enough units to facilitate this. The ability for Nintendo's evergreen titles to sell big numbers infinitely is limited by the paltry sales of the Wii U (and is not an indictment on the game's quality or the IP's relevance).

I think this is the thing... Titanfall will have a short term advantage, but it has zero staying power. Mario Kart will inevitably be a tie in from now till the end of the Wii U (and beyond if MK for Wii is any indication). I fully except in a couple years time MK8 will not only have beaten TF's LTD, but beaten it very very handily.

Titanfall for the simple fact that its out on two systems. One of them being an 80 million seller.

Titanfall.
MK8 will at most sell 200k units.

3 systems actually. (360, X1, PC). Seems pretty clear to me Titanfall will sell more.

I don't know if it's a fair question or not because of the sales disparity between PCs, Xbox One and Xbox 360 vs Wii U. We all know Wii U hasn't performed well so it's pretty hard to compare numbers here.
It's safe to say Mario Kart 8 will sell well but with 20% or more of Wii U owners get it? What percentage of One and 360 owners picked up Titanfall? Getting numbers like that for PC is nigh impossible.

I have no idea.
A complete guess? Titanfall since it has a larger install base and will be discounted sooner than MK8.

Lifetime? MK8.
Don't underestimate the power of Mario Kart. Even on a dying platform.
People are already like "Titanfall? Oh yeah, I remember that". It didn't become what it was supposed to be.

Mario Kart 8 will

My evidence to back this up. If Super Mario 3D World can do 2.17 million, then I expect Mario Kart 8 to do more.
But we may never know, since EA won't release sales.

Depends on whether the next Nintendo home console is backward compatible.
I'll bet on Mario kart 8 though, seeing as once titanfall 2 comes out the sales on the first one will hardly progress. Mario kart 9 won't be out for a much longer time, possibly not even until the next console, so people will keep picking 8 up.

Mario Kart 8 easily, even on a dying platform.
Titalfall didn't meet it's manufactured hype.

Troll post?
NSMBU has sold over 4 million copies. MK8 will do a few million in the long run too. It'll outsell the XB1 SKU but probably not combined with PC + 360.

Lifetime: MK8. Probably will sell close to 2 million by the end of the year.
if including all the platforms, Titanfall probably wins out 2014 and maybe 2015
