MK8D wasn't a lazy stop-gap port to everyone.

Good thing Ka-Pi was asking for my opinion  then.

It is just the switch version of the game. 

It is like gta5 on ps4. You don't want gta5 to succeed on ps4? 

False equivalence and you know it.

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.

That doesn't matter. If we look at it that way then every game should be ported because it has a chance of outselling the original (and even if it doesn't outsell it it's still adding profit).  I think it's very funny how people don't care about the logic behind business decisions until the subject is Switch ports, by the way. 

Have you not noticed the trend of almost every publisher re-releasing their past hits on new hardware?
