| jonathanalis said: Can we expect 30M Mario kart 8 deluxe lifetime? For now, seems 25M is a given. About Zelda, I don't think botw2 would impact botw sales. Part of newcomers that would buy Zelda botw would buy both now, because don't seems that botw2 is going to replace botw, like a mk9 would with 8. |
30M is possible, but not very certain. Yeah, 25 million seems pretty given. 22 million at the very least is very likely.
I really want Mario Kart 9. I've had Mario Kart 8 since I got a Wii U in June 2014. I even caved and got Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but I got a decent discount on it.
To me, Mario Kart 9 could release in 2021 or later and not steal too much of MK8D's sales. Maybe Nintendo could introduce Nintendo Selects by then, with MK8D as a budget title, and 9 as a full-price new release.
Waiting all the way until 2022-2024 for the Switch 2 to launch, and then getting a new Mario Kart after it launches seems agonizing to me. There's plenty to put in MK9. Bring back dual drivers and mission mode, and add some new characters, bring some back, etc. There's plenty of material for another new game on Switch.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)
PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
