But as I mentioned, Yabuki already got out a title that can drive hardware sales. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's outselling the Wii U version, and is still a system seller for the Switch. Nintendo's not in any rush for Yabuki to be working on a new Mario Kart with 8DX selling so well. The team can focus on ARMS for now because that's a new property that's still successful and helps diversify the Switch lineup. It's not bad business I believe.
