Mario Kart began its adventures as a spin-off of the Super Mario gamesbut with the passage of time he has not only managed to create his own identity, but also surpasses the plumber’s own main video games in popularity and sales to the point that there are quite a few Nintendo consoles in which the best-selling video game is Mario Kart. And in that sense, The Nintendo Switch has managed to be the company’s biggest success.
It was recently announced that Nintendo Switch has already exceeded 141 million units sold, which goes hand in hand with also sharing the sales of its multiple video gamesincluding in this case what Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has achieved, which has reached the sum of 61.97 million units soldachieving with such a figure that it has become Nintendo’s best-selling game of all time.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe exceeds 61.97 million copies sold
Knowing that there are many who are eagerly awaiting the launch of Mario Kart 9the only thing we have announced so far is the Mario Kart LEGO collection, it should be noted that the figures given in the latest report confirm that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the biggest success in Nintendo history not only because of its numbers, but also because it is the one that has given them the most benefit.
It should be noted that this record comes with a bit of a catch, since there is a game that outsells Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this being Wii Sports. However, being included in the console on which it was released, Wii, makes the 82 million copies it sold at the time not so worthwhile. Likewise, it should be noted that Mario Kart 8 would add almost 70 million copies sold if the units of the Wii U version were added to these, as reflected in Nintendo’s financial report.
It remains to be seen what ends up happening with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, since, although the sales rate is astonishing for being so many years old, it is quite likely that did not reach 80 millionespecially knowing that we may be less than a year away from the launch of the successor to Nintendo Switch.
