It'll be alright. I assure you once KHIII releases in generation 24 it'll sell gangbusters.

MK8 did 259 on Wii U. Switch version is doing pretty well compared to where it was last time at this point.

Should move a really good amount of systems

Looking back, MK7 got to 290-something. MK8 DX really is doing quite well right now.



What Switch games besides MK8 DX are officially open for pre-orders (release date disclosed/marketing campaign started) though?
