MK8 was sold 7.5m buy 30. June.

Do you relly belive that MK8 woud sell tens of milions of copies on PS4/XB1!? Offcurse not, if some people relly want to play MK8 they would buy Wii U, probably combine sales of MK8 wouldnt pass 10m on PS4/XB1. And Nintendo make much more money from console like 1st party devolper for their consoles then they would make like 3rd party, 7.5m sold copies on Wii U made them more money than they would make with around 10m on XB1/PS4.

Mario Kart Wii sold 35.8 million.

MK8 has sold 7.5 million.

All those people that enjoy playing Mario Kart didn't just dissapear off the face of the planet, they just don't want to buy a WiiU, yes I believe the game would sell 25 million+ on PS4/XBO/PC.

It's either that or the Mario Kart Brand is in HORRIFIC decline.

79% Less sales, and that's all due to the WiiU. Nintendo screwed up and gimped their software potentially MASSIVELY. Some truly phenomenal games on the system that have been held back by a completely unappealing system.

Most of those Mario Kart Wii owners are playing on mobile devices, and not on PS4/XBO/PC.

PS4 and XBO are much more successful than the Wii U, but the audience for family friendly/cartoony games is not on these platforms. Stuff like Sonic Racing Transformed and Shovel Knight (retail version had simultaneous release) still sold better on the Wii U terrible install base than on Sony/MS platforms... I really doubt Mario Kart would sell 25 million on PS4/XBO/PC.
