8 million is good but take a look at the previous 3 Mario Kart titles.

 

Mario Kart DS (2005)-23.60 million

Mario Kart Wii (2008)-37.02 million

Mario Kart 7 (2011)-16.76 million

Mario Kart 8 (2014)-8.40 million

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (2017)-7.33 million

 

It sold well but much less than it should have, the fact that its updated port is going to outsell the original in less than a year is proof of that.

I mean if it is a port, can't we just say that Mario Kart 8 sold nearly 16 million copies?  I think you are both wrong. I don't think it was a waste and I think its par for the course sales wise when combined. 

Sure you can combine them and that supports my argument that the game was held back by being on poor selling hardware.

The original release did 8 million but the port will go on to sell more than double that on its own.
