Prediction: Mario Kart 9 won't release until a decade or more after MK8

And that's not splitting the community?

Then every new console generation is a community split for you? OK. I just don't want that to happen during one console generation. I didn't even liked the moment valve announced L4D2 shortly after L4D1. 

But to be honest, even DLC can split the community, because you have the people playing only the vanilla version and the people playing the DLC one. It's annoying, but this is what happens. I also see DLC as a smaller investment compared to a MK9 full game release.

Just trying to say that the split community argument isn't really an argument as that happens all the time on consoles. In the end it's up to Nintendo what they want to do. I don't think anybody knows right now if they want to make a new MK soon or not. Both a new game and DLC are equally viable. But platform holders live from new games and even if it's not a big difference financially it is a real perception difference if you just supply your old games with DLC or if you release completely new games. Like it's a difference if you release a PS4 Pro or a PS5.

Just for the record, yes I find it very silly how people support and even demand with every new generation there to be a complete split between the platforms. Or else they won't recognize it as a generation jump. Silly silly console people.
