This is what happen when there is a fanbase starving for games. That is why I double dip on the last of us and grand theft auto 5 when they launched on ps4. There werent a lot of games to look at when they launched.

BotW released alongside the Switch and for some, it was easier to come across a copy of the game than it was to get a hold of a Switch thus +100% attach rate was possible.

At least I think that's how the math works for the +100% attach rate figure.

The original game was $72 with all the DLC. This is $50 with all of the DLC and an extra battle mode. Do I wish there was an exchange for Wii U owners? Sure, but the price isn't unacceptable for what you're getting. Even 3 years later.

We had a Mario Kart party yesterday and the battle mode alone is so good that I'm extremely satisfied with the game. Shine Thief is crazy. Glad the game is doing great. I didn't care about the Wii U generation Nintendo, but they got their act together.

Horizon: Look at my amazing sales
Zelda: Hold my beer
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Not so fast m8
Scalebound: I wish I existed :(

Because there are now more Switch owners then there were at end of March.

Yeah, I think it's the concept of the Switch that makes it so appealing to buy games for it, even if you already own, just knowing you can play it anywhere and with anyone if you meet other Switch owners with the same game out there.

But yeah, it is good that MK8 is given new wings to possibly take better flight on a potentially more successful system.

So will we have a attach rate prediction thread? 150 copies of MK8D per Switch sold. This shall be the new ET of games except people will just eat their toxic tasting copies instead of burying them in a desert.

Well, people bought Zelda in anticipation of buying a Switch later on since the system is hard to find.

MK8D selling more is probably a combination of bigger userbase than end of March + likely the same thing happening again. The system is still selling out, so people are getting the game and try to get the system as soon as they can.

Good launch, despite it being a port too
