@Wman1996 It's up to CESA at this point to update Mario Maker 2 numbers, and apparently there is a delay with the latest report, so we might not know end of 2023 and later numbers for a while, if at all.

Mario Maker 2 has definitely underperformed because I would've expected it to be long past 10m by end of 2022 anyways. I agree that people would much rather play official levels than make their own. Doesn't help that it launched just 6 months after NSMBU DX, and the final update was less than a year after launch.

I feel like for the Switch 2, they should release a new 2D Mario around 2027 and then make Mario Maker 3 essentially a paid DLC add on for that game a couple of years later.

Honestly I hope next gen they switch it up and put out a Zelda Maker instead of Mario Maker. Would be cool to make top-down zelda levels and play through other people's levels. Especially with Switch2 being backwards compatible, people can still buy/play Mario Maker 2 if they want a Mario Maker game. It's better to switch it up each gen rather than put out nearly the same game every gen. If they do a Zelda Maker next gen they could go back to Mario Maker the gen after that.
