Mario Kart will never stop being a success. Despite Mario Kart 8 Deluxe simply being an upgrade on the Wii U version, it is actually the best-selling title on Switch. Nearly 30 million copies of the game have been sold worldwide on Switch.
One country that seems to really love the game is the UK, as it turns out that, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe actually sold more in 2020 than it did in 2019. In fact, the game has seen a sales increase every year each year since it debuted in 2017.
It should also be noted that these sales statistics are only for physical releases and do not include digital sales. It is therefore possible that the game may have sold even better than the sales charts indicate.
Have you played the game? What do you all think of it? Let us know!
We have had 52 sales weeks in the UK charts now (most years have 52, but this year has 53) and there's some nice little successes to call out

Mario Kart 8: Deluxe has sold more in 2020 (UK boxes sales) than it did in 2019. In fact, the game has sold better and better each and every year since it was released in 2017. Not bad for an upgraded port, eh?
