I'm not getting the "it will cannibalize the sales of their best title" arguement. MK8D has maybe a 10m left in it but MK9 would easily sell over 20m and MK8D won't completely stop selling so from a business perspective there's a greater sales potential in releasing MK9 than just letting MK8D do its thing.

MK8D is on track to be the best selling mario kart (doesn't even need the original wii u version) and it would simply be stupid to waste a mario kart 9 on the switch when it can live to it's potential as a launch tittle for the switch 2.

Best option would be to release Mario Kart 9 on switch with it's large install base and get it's 20 plus million sales then release Mario kart 9 deluxe on switch 2 with 4k resolution and exclusive characters etc, this will double up on sales just like GTA 5 did by releasing on two generations of consoles. This stratergy would make the most money.
