Switch users don't have much to choose from. If you're going to release an updated version of an old game. It's good to release it at the beginning of the system's life cycle

I'll never be able to understand the craze with Mario Kart, I'm afraid. Those are some great sales, indeed.

Care to predict MK8 DX's sales?

Possibly, P5 will have almost an entire month of sales comapred to the two days for MK8D.

It's just so surprising to me that a game like that could actually get #1 in the U.S.

It's shipped 1 million (by yours truly ) units in the West since launch (it released and sold a little over 500k in Japan last year). If USA received the bigger share of shipments, say 600k units, it has a fair shot. MK8D will round at 500k, let's say 550k at best. P5's major competition would be March releases with momentum (Zelda and the Tom Clancy game).
