I'm taking it into consideration, and deem it to not really matter to the general audience. Mario Kart is and has always been very popular and few will care about any special features. It's the Mario gang and you hold A to reach the goal. What matters more is how popular the platform is, and Switch was very popular.One thing no one seems to take into consideration is that MK8 sold that much while being a pretty iterative and by the numbers MK entry. World is trying a bunch of big new things and we have yet to see the impact of it
I hope I'm wrong, but I'd personally bet there's no chance Mario Kart World comes close to 8 Deluxe, because Switch 2 won't sell nearly as well as 1.
