MarioKart World isn't doing as hot as I would be expecting... not even a year after launch and it's legs are weaker than Animal Crossing New Horizons (NSW+NS2 Edition) and MTFever. Perhaps this is just an off week? Since Pokopia is the big game moving units this week, and not MarioKart.

The problem with Mario Kart World is that it made some of the sales it would've been making in 2026 last year already, which kinda leads to this bounce-back effect.
What's likely is that the game would've much better legs in early 2027 than in early 2026 thanks to a new wave of buyers by Holidays 2026 who would not have bought Mario Kart World at the same time as the console, atleast not in the proportions of last year.

MKW is over 3 million in Japan alone and people are saying its sales are not good
