Switch has this win, but it won't be by nearly as much as it was last month. I'm more looking forward to seeing how well Switch can hold once summer really starts.

As for mario kart selling so well, it's probably because there's not much available to play right now since it just came out two months ago. As for PS4, it has hundoof games to pick from, not 5-10 like Switch currently has. So it's not that hard to see why MK8 sold as well as it did.

But you knew that already 😉

This logic to try and downplay is silly, you're implying people buy consoles first and only afterwards look at it's library then decide what games to get for it. It's the other way around, MK8D is a great game that people bought Switches in order to play.

Every1 uses this logic for nintendo games that sell well. If this logic was true, dk/bayo2/w101/etc would of easily sold 3mil+ each lol
