Yeah but predicting a Mario Kart game would have its sales vanished after its first year for a Nintendo console is by every mean, a bad prediction. |
Yea but considering every other prediction I had for the Switch was more or less reasonable for the time period, I don't really see the point in using such hyperbole. I'm not a Nintendo hater or anything so it just feels unnecessary.
I can only guess what I was thinking at the time, but I probably was under the mindset that if 8 Deluxe didn't sell as well as it is doing now (which there wasn't really much indication that it would), it might get replaced by a sequel instead of cannabilizing it. Again, that's not a good prediction at all, and i'm not even sure if that was my prediction at the time, but it's a lot better than just thinking a Mario Kart game wouldn't have legs, which is something I'm 99.99% sure I would have never thought. So that's my only explanation.
Edit: Now that I think about it, it's very likely that's why I said that, because I was under the impression that Mario Kart 8 being such an old game meant we had to get a 9 eventually, and that the Mario Kart team wouldn't be underutilized on Switch. Oh how I feel bad about never getting that game on Switch, one of the biggest gaping holes in it's library even if 8 Deluxe satisfies me.
