No, for VGChartz. 

Was just wondering if you wrote this.

Nah, I made that prediction here, but in a post. Don't think I would ever make a whole article about a sales prediction.

No chance, especially when its legs will be killed somewhere before when MK9 inevitably release. I'm still confident MK8D will be the worst selling MK game (assuming you don't combine the sales with vanilla MK8, of course). 

So you think MK8D will sell less than GBA MK that sold 5.5m!? Because MK8D can easily sell more than 5.5m before MK9 arrives.

Yeah, I think so.

It will be one of must have games on Switch, its defintive version, has huge content and great Battle Mode, it can be played in full portable mode, or even on split screen in portable mode or lan, it will have pretty good atach rate, and Nintendo will pushed it pretty hard (look link down), so MK8D can be around 5m only after one full year of Switch on market.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Definitely possible, the question is when will Mario Kart 9 happen? Same question for Smash 4 Deluxe: what it sells and whether or not they even make it is really down to when a Smash 5 might happen. I don't think those games would completely stop the sales of MK8D and SSB4D but it would definitely slow them down considerably.



I believe Deluxe will be a big seller, specially because MK7 released half a dozen years ago. But outselling the original is where it gets a little hard. MK9 won't affect it too much, since Deluxe won't have the same lasting appeal as other MKs, anyway.

I'mma say 10 million > Deluxe > MK8.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Only ported/remastered mario kart right? so it'd make sense.

Remasters hardly ever sell more than the original (Can't think of any example sans Persona 4 Golden), so I doubt it will break 8 million like the original. No matter how much content it ports over, it's still a remaster, and people will rather wait for MK9 than getting a remaster/double-dipping to ever achieve such amount of numbers. 5m in one full year is extremely positive, and I find that impossible; rather, the LT sales of Deluxe, which fits into my prediction.

I'll have it the same as the one you'll order, assuming you carry that thought of 12mil lifetime into an official prediction of yours.
