    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.

      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.

          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.

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

              Each month. Not total sales.

                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.
