The PS4 is stronger than ever while the Switch made more money than the Xbox One at retail this May.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
Nintendo has announced a variety of plans it has in store for MAR10 Day. The event, which celebrates all things Mario, technically is on Sunday though there are different things happening as early as today. Nintendo’s lineup includes giveaways, challenges, deals, and more.
It's meee Marioo and my lawyers are going to sue you if you emulatio los mio giocos for millions of coins!!!!
The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?
Agreed. I think a lot of the AC: H sales have to do with early lockdown players!
I mean, I would've played it anyway. But I guess there's a lot of people who got into it because of the hype and their new found free time!
Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.
It's the Capcom method:
1. Add a new word to the end of the title and features that should've been expected first time around.
2. Charge full price for it.
3. Profit.
this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol
and those are all first party games.
I knew Detroit or demon souls remaster would drop god of war from the number one spot but damn to jump back up to the number one spot again in May is crazy for a god of war game. Congratulations again Cory Barlog and SSM. Well deserved and good to see Detroit still doing well at number 5 especially for the type of game it is.
So Detroit only needed two days to reach nr 5 on the charts for the entire month? That's very impressive, glad to see the game doing well!
God of War is a masterpiece. It surpassed my expectations. Great Job, SSM and Cory Barlog ! And Detroit Become Human, congratulations QD.
I'm so glad it's doing well. That's the way to show them Sony.
Detroit did well for being in the market for only few days to still end up high in monthly charts
I think it's safe to assume God of war will at the very least sell 10 plus million and life time sales could even hit 12-15 million
