I don't see how.  How will this Mario Kart game drop sales faster than normal on a console that is selling faster than normal?

Wouldn't that mean sales would stay up more than normal as the install base is growing faster?

Both in fact. Which I explained before but apparently not good enough

The level it will sell over the months starting May will be higher than usual, but it will drop faster down to that level than the previous itinerations of Mario Kart, where the sales stayed relatively high over months before settling on it's respective level

I think a big factor here for sales will be what percent of Switch buyers never had a Wii U?  If we be very conservative and estimate the dedicated gaming hardware market to be 100 million, that would mean over 80 percent of possible Switch customers never bought a Wii U.  Which means we could see a more pronounced version of the Last of Us Remastered effect, where peopld who never owned the previous system buy the new one in large numbers and thus drive the sales of a remastered exclusive higher than one would initially think.
