Omg what the hell! Why do you bring up points that no brings up? 

 

That said MK8D is a port thats going to sell at least 15mil lifetime.... How in the hell do you think a new MK would of sold if a port sold that much lol? If switch does close to 100mil a mk9 could do 30mil+

umm being port is a huge benefit,  because mario kart can come out so early in the system life time, and there are very little options, plus most who owned wiiu were hardcore nintendo fans i'm sure most would double dip for a portable version, not to mention the extra modes and 1080p. zelda on wii was a GC port yet it destroyed skyward in sales, also mario galaxy came out when wii install base was samll yet it out sold mario galaxy 2 by a huge amount. when ever mario kart 9 comes out it won't outsell mario kart 8.

 

Are you seriously saying ports only do well because they were on previous platforms? That's crazy. A game that was purchased by what, 8 million people on one platform would be lucky to sell 8 million on the next. The only reason those games sell really well is because they are great quality games and the system that the ports are sold on is hugely successful. Also you cannot for a single minute think the majority that bought mk8 on wii u bought it on Switch too.
