So you are saying a lower percentage of new Switch owners after the launch months will want MK8:D than previous Mario Kart games?

No, I'm just saying it will sell huge numbers at first, then settle down to it's (high) cruise speed after that. Which all Mario Kart more or less do, but the transition between the two is normally several months long. I don't think the transition of MK8DX will be several months long, just one or maximum 2 months.

I don't know what transition you're talking about. Taking MK8 as an example, it sold 1.2m first week and then 350k the week after, so a 70% drop, which is a normal drop for most games. Then, 1 month later it started selling around 70~100k each week. 

I don't see how MK8D will do much worse than that, as most people that buy a Switch at the time will either pick Zelda or Mario Kart (most likely MK, since Zelda will already be over 3m).
