ARMS was made by the Mario Kart team, one of Nintendo's core heavyweights who regularly put out games that cross the 10 million mark. Taking up their time and resources for years working on something that will sell in the range of 3 million is just a bad idea.

Besides Mario Kart, one of the Mario platform games and the Wii Sports titles what games do they do that sell over 10 million? 

Are multiple 10m sellers not enough? The point is, we're not talking about one of their B-teams here, we're talking about one of their core heavyweight teams. What sense does it make to tie them up for the next 3 years making a sequel to a game that did only moderately well when they're capable of making much bigger and better things?
