Journalism is really hitting all-time lows these days, huh?

They really will make an article on anything just to get clicks and ad revenue.

??? It’s ign not cnn.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

IGN, Kotaku, they’re all the same.

Honestly this is a pretty big deal. Mario Kart 8 has been an absolute sales juggernaut. It’s been largely speculated that mario kart 9 has been delayed just because 8 keeps on making millions. It’s just so uncommon to see a game sell in such huge numbers for over 6 years like that, especially because the game itself is way older than that and it didn’t even get any expansions/dlc until very recently.

It was on two consoles, and was one of the earlier Switch releases. Its not surprising that it sold so many copies at all.

WarmSoda ,

It’s not surprising a game from the last console has been in the top 20 until just now? 78 consecutive months it was there.

It’s not total sales. It’s sales each month.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

Skyrim is still selling copies. So no, its not surprising.

WarmSoda ,

Each month. Not total sales.

RightHandOfIkaros ,

It is not surprising to see an older game continue to sell a lot, especially a child/family oriented game, on a child/family oriented console. A game with basically no real competition in its category.

It is surprising every time a game sells this many copies, because it's so rare. By Wikipedia's count, only 5 other games have sold better, and for the length of time it's been on the sales chart, we can realistically only compare its success to GTA V and Minecraft.

You’re right, that is a really incredible run. I think their just digging their heels in and being a contrarian because they want to stand by their hot take that journalism is bad now.
