With roughly 2.7 million consoles sold worldwide, that means around 740,000 more copies of the game sold between April 29 and May 1.
The launch marks Nintendo's best to date for the Mario Kartseries, which is consistently one of the top titles across all the company's hardware. Mario Kart Wiiwas the previous record-holder, with roughly 433,900 launch sales.
It's helpful to look at previous Mario Kartperformances to really appreciate how things are going here.
As of March 31, 2016, the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8had 7.5 million copies sold, or 58.6 percent of all Wii U console owners. At the time, it was the top-selling game for that platform.
The 3DS game, Mario Kart 7, reached 13.3 million units sold -- accounting for 22.5 percent of all 3DS owners. As of that same March 31 date, it was the second-highest selling 3DS title (h/t Game Informer).
If we go even further back, to Nintendo's Wii era: 36 percent of console owners picked up Mario Kart Wii.
