Don't know about the Wii U but I do know that when destiny launched the PS4 sold around 360k if I remember correctly. Anyway Mario Kart is and will always be a system seller like pokemon. So I don't get why everyone is surprised that it did sell well. The real question is will the Switch still 200k weekly after it got a Mario Kart, 3D Mario and Zelda.

People are surprised because this is not MK9, but a port. 

Anyway, Switch sold this well simply because Nintendo had more stock available for Mario Kart release.

Did they forget the WII U sold like crap. Plenty of Switch owners never played on the Wii U unlike many PS4 owners that did own a PS3. Pretty much every Wii port will do well on Switch because the originas wheren't played by many.
