I would say (going by the numbers being forecasted for the Wii at this point in time on the simExchange) that this stock could be undervalued for a couple of reasons. First, Nintendo has in the past only released one Mario Kart game per a home console meaning that this would be most likely that one Mario Kart game many would pick up for their Wii. Also, from the history of Mario Kart DS, these Mario Kart games tend to keep selling for quite awhile until another, better kart racing game is released. If Mario Kart DS has already sold 9 million by the numbers you have stated, the Mario Kart on Wii should sell more most likely because pretty much any racing game tends to do better on a home console. Also, Mario Kart is able to appeal to both so-called "hardcore" gamers and "casual" gamers - meaning more sales. One last thing to note is that this game has been noted as having a large online component for players, and as research that has been posted in articles on the simExchange have stated, games with online components tend to sell more. So, if the N64 version of Mario Kart sold about 10 million without online on a much less popular console with a lower total installed base, then I would say the Wii version of Mario Kart will end up selling a good number more than 10 million - possibly more than the current forecasted price depending on exact release date and sell rate of the Wii.
