It would be redundant for nintendo. Why would they waste MK9 on the switch when MK8D is selling better than any exclusive MK?

Because I am pretty sure allot of those "sales" are coming from free Console Bundles.

And who is to say they wouldn't sell 10's of millions of more copies of Mario Kart?

You've awnsered yourself. MK8 may still have about 10m sales worth of R.O.I., why would you waste it?

Plus, if we agree MK9 could potentially be 20m title why would you release it today? You can keep it and "use" it later to boost sales of the next system, right in the early years.

If I had to release a new kart game right now, I would make one with a different flavour, like a Diddy Kong Racing sequel. This way you can meet the demand for a new Kart racing game, while giving the userbase a reason the own both titles and, at the same time, keeping MK9 as the ace for the next console.

Or they can release a Mario Kart 10 for the next console?

What, the maybe 1m units they had for each blackfriday? Not even 10% of total sales and not relevant anyway. This is the best selling switch tittle. Bundling it doesn't take any merit from it's sales.
