Dude, MK8D isn't even a brand new MK yet it's sold gangbusters. MK9 on Switch selling only half as much (lol no but just making a point) will still be way more than most other franchises that could be made instead. Do you seriously think F-Zero, Diddy Kong, or whatever it is you're hoping gets made instead will do even half as much? Not trying to throw shade at these series, just acknowledging the reality that they aren't as big as MK. Now you claimed a sequel on Switch is bad business sense, yet your arguments are nothing but your made up assumptions that could apply to every game ever despite same system sequels being common practice. Kirby and Fire Emblem for example say sup, both had 2 games on 3DS yet are setting records on Switch. No, what makes no sense is to base decisions on baseless assumptions rather than cold hard sales numbers. A game sells well so it gets a sequel at the next opportunity, it's really that simple. Mario Kart isn't an outlier, it isn't exempt from this just because you feel it should be for whatever reason. |
Everything was was already explained in detail and there's no point in repeating myself. There's a 99.99...% chance that Mario Kart 9 is a launch tittle for the switch 2.
