You summed up well my thoughts. 

Btw, I want to point out that people shouldn't count MK8D out just yet. This game is always the one with the longest legs of the titles released. It's always topping charts and selling at a stable rate, so if it keeps that way, even something like 30m (MKWii/DS level) isn't out of reach. There haven't been a quarter where it shipped less than 1m, far from that actually, so, with the holidays in mind, we can safely assume something like ~5m sales per year for the years to come, and 2m~3m when Nintendo's next system is close to launch. With that in mind, it could go like that:

2018: 14m (by the year's ending)

2019: 19m

2020: 24m

2021: 27m

2022: 29m

2023 onwards: 30m~32m

Oh by the way, I'm  rooting for a Mario Kart 9 ... so ... nah, i'd rather not xD 

Me too! xD But let's be honest, the way MK8D is selling, they're better off keeping MK9 for Switch's successor launch. Maybe even do a cross gen release à la Zelda, I don't know. It seems to help selling new consoles as well as pleasing owners of the older system.
