Shigeru Miyamoto comments on whether a different Nintendo game could outsell Mario Kart on Switch 2
Posted on 1 week ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Could a game other than Mario Kart take the crown as the best-selling game on a Nintendo platform? Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario and The Legend of Zelda, has weighed in.
On Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is by far the best seller at almost 70 million – Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the next closest at nearly 50 million. It now looks like we could see something similar with Mario Kart World as it has sold over 9.5 million copies with Nintendo Switch 2 itself at an install base of just over 10 million.
