Yes, because those never sell well. 

Mario kart 8 has a long following that added new characters, all DLC, and more importantly a ton of mini games.

The only thing Pokken has going for it.. is pokemon.  While at the same time competing against Arms.

That is going up against a game on three systems.

Possible? Sure. Likely? I'd say no.

Compared to the worldwide Wii U version it has 5 more fighters, same as Mario Kart added to the fina lversion. 



The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?

Initially mVc sells better, but I would expect pokken to barely outsell it in the long run. Keep in mind, Pokken arrived in 2016 on a dead system, and still outsold SFV. Meanwhile the Switch is alive and well. Also, I don't expect Xone sales of MVc too add to much too much to the total.



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

"and more importantly a ton of mini games." I guess I should have bolded that. That is the key point. That was a huge selling point of the game.

Not to mention Switch userbase is sitting on about 6 million. Vs the combined userbase of PS4, XB1, and PC which has to be at least north of 200 million.

It is just an odd comparison.

You compared Pokken to Arms. Not really comparable. One is more the classic fighter than the other. Also Pokemon franchise vs. Arms Franchise.

Second, the reason Mario Kart is so sought after isn't its battle mode or couple characters, its cause it has like 30+ million fans of the game and only 10 million people owned Wii U's. I don't thik the double dipping on Mario Kart 8 is as big as you all think. There are a lot of new Switch users that were not Wii U owners. Hell everyone I know that owns a switch, i don't even think knows about the WIi U's existance.
