MK 8 was hit on Wii U despite the low userbase (uninteresting console, too!).
If there's a Wii U game that can sell really well on Switch - and the console itself, btw - it's MK 8.

The game's sales were cut due to low install base, so, no wonder we are seeing this game selling really well worldwide.

I don't see it surpassing Zelda BoTW, but it might end up getting close to it.

ummm are you kidding me?? I definitely see it passing Zelda. It's Nintendo's biggest multiplayer game (SSB is close). Mario Kart as a series is a much bigger seller than Zelda. Granted this Zelda is obviously gonna be the best selling Zelda ever (should hit 10 million), and Mario Kart sales will be hurt a little by Wii U MK8 owners not double dipping on it, but I fully expect MK8D to cruise right on by 10 million sales as soon as the Switch userbase size allows it.

I don't see the sales getting hurt by that scenario because all Nintendo needs to do is announce 2 dlc packs like they did on Wii U and drop 16 more tracks in the dlcs with more characters, bikes, tires, etc.  MK will easily outpreform Zelda in the long run because the simple fact is there are more people that like Mario Kart than Zelda.  The only series that has a chance to beat Mario Kart in sales is Pokemon.
