I wonder if MK live will cut into MK8 sales long term. Nah probably not, ¥9980 is steep. It is still catching up to these 3 games.

Mario Kart Live is a whole different thing. It shouldn't compete with MK8D at all. MK8D should will eventually pass Splatoon and Pokemon, and probably Smash as well. I see MKL staying under a million in Japan.
