I still remember that infamous MK8 pie chart from polygon

>different authors
worthless thread

They were right, though. MK8 was the worst selling, but MK8D might be the best. They're technically two different games

>>375725858
Different authors. Different type of article too. Also, why are people surprised? Switch had one good game, now it has 2, of course tons of Switch owners would buy the game.

FUCK POLYGON AND THEIR SJW SHIT

>>375726273
super circuit is the worst selling and double dash also sold less than mk8 on wii u

Mario Kart 8 DID sell like shit, the Wii U was a dead console. Deluxe is selling because people actually like the Switch

>>375725858
Not even the same game

remember that people were gonna suddenly go out and by wii u's when mk was gonna release?

>>375725858

MK8 =/= MK8 Deluxe

Considering that Wii U was a piece of shit with no games and at least Gamecube had a somewhat decent library and some third party games, i am not suprised in the slightest that 8 did better than Double Dash.

>>375725858

A game can both be the fastest selling and worst selling at the same time. They are different metrics.

Not meaning to defend polygon but being the fastest selling doesn't mean much given how front loaded game sales are thanks to preorders and competition for shelf space.

That's not a pie chart silly, that's an abstract representation of insanity in the form of an image.

How is that anything but fantastic?

Slightly off topic, but does anyone else get triggered when """journalists""" use shit like "Here's how" or "Here's why"? To me, they are just announcing the story is shitty clickbait.

why doesn't Nintendo just make a bigass TV embedded with a console instead of all this faggotry for the switch?

Wrong, it has surpassed Double Dash and Super Circuit, and it has sold more than half the number of Wii U's. It did the best it could on a console with such a low install base.

Brothers, they have insulted based Nintendo for the last time. We must boycott them and end this evil. I'll make a thread to recruit on 8ch!

The goalpost was moved by the guy in the comment, the original was about how MK8 will be the worst selling game in the franchise, which is the case

>>375730947
Oh word?

Like Nintendo didn't try to cash in on the remaster bandwagon. Look at their fuck ass job with TLoZ TP. The fact that it was barely upscaled with a fuckton of bloom and priced at $60, mind you with content locked behind an Amiibo which was priced most likely at $15.

>>375731125

Nintendo knows its audience. They know that those retards will gobble up anything and pay money for the same shit multiple times.

The reason Nintendo can stay afloat is because its audience are the biggest consumer whores on the planet. Apple wishes it had fans half as blindly loyal.

i was going to point out that the wii had astronomical sales figures, but the (collective across variants?) DS figures quite dwarf it.
i suppose it's largely that people are more inclined to buy racing and party games for their home console, but i don't know what the DS library is full of other than RPGs, turn-based strategies, and puzzle games. shit's a mystery to me.

MK8 and MK8 Deluxe are two different games though.

Nobody is saying it doesn't count, but there's a good reason why MK8 sold well on the Wii U, it may be even sold better than it deserved.

Even before the DX version, MK8 outsold half the series.

Nigga, why are you defending fucking Polygon?

Nintendo is riding on the niche of college students. Guaranteed the console and games overall don't sell well, and it's naive that people think immediate sales equal long term success. Kinda like when people in here declared the 3DS to be the next sensation because it sold really fast in its first year.
