The Switch is not another Wii U!

Every Mario Kart has new characters, new karts, new stages, new power ups, new mechanics.

I said they sold 80 million units of hardware and over 200 million units of 1st party software this generation, it doesnt matter if its a decline, it shows there is still a large audience for Nintendo and their games.

By that logic, GBA, DS & 3DS didnt have strong 3rd party support either.

Barely any difference apart from basic skin changes and tweaks. You can take Mario Kart on the SNES and it's instantly recongisable as being the same game Mario Kart 8 is based on. That shows absolutely zero innovation over the last 25 years. 

 

Hahahahah, let's imagine how that board meeting would go down:

org1000: "We've had a stellar year, we've sold 80 million units of hardware!"

Nintendo shareholders: "You're down across all sales for all your hardware units"

org1000: "Yeah, but we sold stuff!"

CEO: "...you're fired"

If you think a decline across both hardware platforms for Nintendo doesn't matter, you clearly don't understand how business works. Nothing reassures stakeholders like declining sales!

Well yeah obviously, Mario Kart will always resemble Mario Kart regardless of how much they change it. By the way, how much has Gran Turismo changed in the last 20 years?

You are deflecting and taking what i said out of context, you said Nintendo is on the verge of death out of touch with their software, being able to sell 80 million units of hardware and being the biggest software provider in the business is a far cry from dead & out of touch regardless of having declined.
