Its still one of the worst selling MK titles, MK7 has sold 14 million and is still outselling it to this day despite being 2.5 years older.
8 million is only good when comparing it to the install base of Wii U.

Not entirely true as come when Switch launches it should be the 5th or 4th best selling game as right now it's closing in on SMK (may have already outsold it) on the SNES and can likely go on to outsell MK64. That's far from the worst selling, MK7 is being sold to a userbase of 60m and growing.
Regardless the original point Spemig made is correct as what's relevant to Switch's success is not how many Wii U owners migrate but how many 3DS owners migrate because if every non Wii U owning 3DS owner bought a Switch the console would become Nintendo's third best selling console.

I didnt say worst selling, I said ONE OF THE WORST SELLING, it has outsold 2 MK games while 5 games have outsold it.
It might get close to SMK but no way is it going to sell another 2 million to match MK64, Wii U is essentially done selling and if there are no more people buying the console than the chances of its software showing notable growth is slim.
Im not saying the game has sold poorly by any means, 8 million is still a huge number but when you look and see that MK7 has outsold it by 6 million and growing, it shows that it has not sold to its full potential.
What im getting at is essentially the same thing Spemanig is, if those millions of 3DS owners who never owned a Wii U get a Switch than thats millions of potential new sales for these updated ports along with any people who may decide to double dip since they are rumored to have a good deal of original content.
