It’s like 8 months older than Mario Kart 8. Do you believe no one wants to buy that too?
MK8... a game with a much wider appeal, has sold 71M units and less than half the total NS1 units sold... and only about 1/4th to 1/3rd the total sales of GTA5
MK8... a game which nearly half of its sales are from pack-in bundles
I'm not seeing how that proves your point?
To be clear, I love MK8 and MK7... but I'm not seeing the connection at all
People still buy the game, it still regularly charts, or did recently, and it’s 12 years old. People buy old games.
