I believe that MK has a larger potential funbase (yes, I said funbase) than CoD (I find it hard to believe that anyone would bring out CoD in a party with kids under 10, and I think most older parents wouldn't want to play a game like that (or even be able to if they weren't familiar with the genre)), but like I said before, I don't believe that really is the reason CoD isn't the MK of shooters. I said this before and you may have missed it so I will post it again:
I think the difference is that Mario Kart stands outside all (or most) other racing games and does something different (when compared to other racers), while Call of Duty stands at the epicenter all FPS and does something familiar (when compared to other FPS).
