| burninmylight said: It's the same reason why the talk of a brand new Grand Theft Auto is only recently begun to sound concrete with Rockstar. GTA5 and GTA Online is the most profitable entertainment IP in history and lives at the tops of sales chart from quarter to quarter despite being six and a half years old. People are STILL buying the game and DLC for it in droves!!! Why would Rockstar potentially kill that golden goose when it can be focusing on other projects in the meantime? |
Exactly. Nintendo won't want to make anything on Switch that competes directly with Mario Kart 8D, just like Rockstar and GTA5/Online. You don't kill your cash cow when you can focus your efforts elsewhere.
I'm a bit amazed they haven't put out some paid DLC with a few extra courses yet. That'd probably pick up a few million sales. Maybe they're just saving their new course ideas for next gen Mario Kart though.
