Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is Nintendo’s first game to hit #1 in the UK since 2011

Strong performance for Mario Kart 8. Nintendo has an extremely strong first year line up of first party games. All of them are going to do extremely well.

I have to know, how on earth are there still so many people who haven't bought GTA V?

There's a lot of double-dippers in GTAV's total. Skews that total audience.

 

Not quite. A lot of the people purchasing Grand Theft Auto V are new console buyers. GTA V sales strongly correlate to sales of new consoles. 

It's the #1 purchase for new PS4 and XB1 buyers this gen and the Online component is still very popular as reflected by Take Two's quarterly earnings.
