Because I am pretty sure allot of those "sales" are coming from free Console Bundles.
Or they can release a Mario Kart 10 for the next console? |
What, the maybe 1m units they had for each blackfriday? Not even 10% of total sales and not relevant anyway. This is the best selling switch tittle. Bundling it doesn't take any merit from it's sales.

How? It's not bundled and has only been during limited holiday promotions.

Well... I don't have to elaborate.
True. But the Switch seems to get allot of WiiU ports anyway... Mario Kart, Breath of the Wild, Smash Brothers, Super Mario Brothers U, Tropical Freeze... I think it's Nintendo's attempt on getting a return on their game development investments from that failed console. |
Not just that but they didnt reach their full potential so for the vast majority of Switch owners these arent simply ports but brand new games.

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Still being bundled heavily in various regions.
Australia for example.
https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/nintendo-switch/808255-nintendo-switch-neon-console-1-game
Some sellers on the Amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Console-Mario-Kart-Deluxe/dp/B07JJLLFXJ
Walmart in the USA has a heap of bundles too.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Wheel-Set-Nintendo-Mario-Case-Neon-Super-Disc-Kart-Deluxe-Console-an-Pair-Blue-Bundle-Red-Travel-Pink-Game-Switch-Extra-8-2-Joy-Con-Joy-Con-Green/288167183
But okay.
I am also not saying it's not a good seller, far from it.

Nah. They are ports. And they don't leverage the Switch's hardware capabilities to the fullest extent... Which is the biggest reason to release a Mario Kart 9. - I couldn't care if Nintendo is still selling copies, that's not my problem.
The fact a majority of people may not have played these ports on the WiiU, doesn't mean they are new titles or new gaming experiences, that's just a fallacy.

Non official "bundles" that aren't cheaper than console + game.

Bundle is a bundle. I couldn't care if they are official or not. - Consumers aren't going to give a shit.
All comes down to price and included value additions.

Then there's no point in having this conversation.

Australia makes up maybe a few percent of total sales and the walmart bundle you linked is over $500. MK8 bundles make up a very small amount of its sales, it's around ~23 million shipped and would at worst be like ~20 million without bundles.
Of course they arent new titles, I didn't say they were, I'm saying to the vast majority of people that does not matter because barely anyone owned a Wii U. They are highly desirable games that were stuck on a highly undesirable console and are selling as if they were new titles.

Hence why I said "Bundle heavily in various regions". - They were examples.
The USA bundle includes more than just the game, hence it's price, it includes a steering wheel, carry case, extra Joycons.
But again... It was an example... And you are missing the point of why I provided such an example.
Either way. Here is another at a lower price:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Switch-Gaming-Console-Neon-Blue-and-Neon-Red-Joy-Con-Bundle-with-Mario-Kart-Deluxe-8/333306670
Or hows about Target USA?
https://www.target.com/p/nintendo-switch-mario-kart-8-deluxe-bundle-with-neon-blue-and-neon-red-joy-con/-/A-78178557
JFC.
Here is another bundle, this time the UK.
https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/tv-and-home-entertainment/gaming/gaming-consoles/nintendo-switch-lite-mario-kart-8-deluxe-bundle-turquoise-10198471-pdt.html
Need me to continue? Those are all sales, they all add up. - It's still not going to account for 10's of millions of sales as the game has been on the market since 2014 and been selling since then, but it all still adds up.
Obviously Nintendo are at the point where they are happy to give the game away with a console.

The amount of people who owned a Wii U is irrelevant.
Doesn't change the fact they are ports of old games, Nintendo is just making money with minimal effort. (And so they should if they can profit from it.)
But I would argue it's not pro-consumer when a game built from the ground up to take full advantage of the Switch's hardware could give us a brand new experience.
