No they dont, its not same if you have launched in the beginning of month and at end of month, and fact is that MK8D was in sale only 3 days in April.

Fact is MK8 would have been #1 for sales in the month regardless of whether it had released on the 1st or the 30th.

The same is true for most games that top the charts. Now if you have some niche indie game releasing at the end of the month and still outselling the likes of COD, FIFA, GTA, MK, Zelda, Halo etc which all released earlier... now that would be impressive. But a big established franchise getting a huge number of their sales on day 1? Nah, that's not impressive, that's expected.

He's got a point. It's not like Mario Kart is a new franchise
