Nah I don't buy thay for a second. I think as you stated the Wii U was mostly Nintendo fans. If you look at Nintendos own data the Switch is being bought by a whole different group of people. Which makes sense. MK8D might have been bought for the reasons you stated but it's not because the majority of wii u owners bought a Switch and that they bought a second copy.

who knows, but i think most mario kart fans that owned it on wiiu would love a portable version.

Smash 4 did ~14 million, yes its on 2 platforms but thats irrelevent, you dont segregate the sales of cross-gen/multiplatform games.

If somebody asks you how much FIFA 18 or COD: WWII sold, you would say over 15m and over 18m. You wouldnt just take the sales of a single sku to determine its sales.

how is selling on 2 platforms irrelevant? now thats its down to 1 platform?

How can you in the same post talk about double dipping by those who were on the Wii U in the case of Mario Kart, yet be unable to project same for the Switch........when the switch is currently on track to more than double the Wii U by the end of the year ?

Furthermore, isnt it a bit absurd to assume that a great majority of Wii U owners just chucked their Wii Us away immediately the Switch was released with no evidence that the Wii U is now worth nothing in the second hand market.

What really is so difficult to accept in the reality that the Switch to a large extent unifies both the Wii U and 3DS userbases hence any game released on it can and should be projected based on a combination of those 2 systems past selling patterns.

What exactly is your argument by the way ? Can you frame it precisely in one post ? with figures and numbers that you will stand by and not dance away from later.
