Of course it's a valid comparison. What the hell else do you want to compare MK to? There's no other "cartoony racer" where the over/under on LT sales is above a few million. Let alone 15M or 20M.
Maybe folks should view the differences between MK and GT, and their respective sales, as a sign of how the market is shifting, instead of as some sort of magical disqualifying factor.
