Still being bundled heavily in various regions.

Australia for example.

Some sellers on the Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Console-Mario-Kart-Deluxe/dp/B07JJLLFXJ

Walmart in the USA has a heap of bundles too.

But okay.

I am also not saying it's not a good seller, far from it.

Nah. They are ports. And they don't leverage the Switch's hardware capabilities to the fullest extent... Which is the biggest reason to release a Mario Kart 9. - I couldn't care if Nintendo is still selling copies, that's not my problem.

The fact a majority of people may not have played these ports on the WiiU, doesn't mean they are new titles or new gaming experiences, that's just a fallacy.

Australia makes up maybe a few percent of total sales and the walmart bundle you linked is over $500. MK8 bundles make up a very small amount of its sales, it's around ~23 million shipped and would at worst be like ~20 million without bundles.

Of course they arent new titles, I didn't say they were, I'm saying to the vast majority of people that does not matter because barely anyone owned a Wii U. They are highly desirable games that were stuck on a highly undesirable console and are selling as if they were new titles.

Even if millions are sold in bundles, people would still be paying extra for that bundle to have the game. It’s clear Mario Kart 8 is the most popular game on Switch.
