MK8D is like 16 million by now in 2 years so I think Nintendo will wait until it reaches MKWii's 30 million before considering a (useless) sequel

As of March 31, 2019...

16.69 mil for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

8.44 mil for Mario Kart 8

That's 25.13 million units.

Both versions are the best-selling title on their respective console. Nintendo really should release Mario Kart 9 by 2022 or sooner. It would sell for sure, especially if it comes out when there aren't many other big games.

So many people think you can't add much more to the series. Give me some new courses (Super Mario Odyssey, hello), new characters, new items, Double Dash mechanic, missions, and I'm all set. You do all those things and market the heck out of the game and it sells 10 million at least. 

Then 1-3 years into the Switch's successor release Mario Kart 10.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
