There are quite many wii u games that sold extremely well on a tiny installbase, that deserve another run on a system with a far bigger potential than wii u...

I mean MK8  has almost sold 9m on the 14m wii u, if wii u had sold 28m, this could be a 14-15m seller! So, the game in spite of having sold so much, still missed a considerable amount of sales. Hence, it was an astute move to port it on the hybrid switch!

Even here you have to bring the almost double userbase double sw sold?

Have  I said it again ? A bit arbitary I know but it's not irrational, there is some basis on that.

The 62% of wii u owners have the game,  almost every new wii u owner after MK8 release was buying wii u and mk8 along with wii u owners before MK8 release, so mario kart 8 attach rate was increasing every quarter, instead of falling as installbase was increasing.

 

If wii u had been bought from another 14m people, what makes you think that the 5.5m from them wouldn't acquire a MK8 copy? 

Okay,  I exaggerated, do you want me to decrease it to 12m ?
