good concept just didnt have enough to keep it interestingWell, with new ip's it boils down to throwing what ya have at the wall and hopeing it sticks. Sadly not everthings works out.
The rest of your points are valid, but I'd just like to point out that you can have four people playing at the same time on one screen. It's a complete mess but it's there.the fact it's only two people at a time makes it less party-friendly.

Are sales the only thing one looks at to determine success or failure?well it sold well so it didnt fail, but its had to keep an 1on1 game very popular, its much easier to keep team based or lots of players online games like mario kart 8 and splatoon.
Depends on the context. If we're talking about financial success, then yes - and that's all that matters to the company's bottom line.Are sales the only thing one looks at to determine success or failure?
Anyway are more than two player games that much easier to sort? From a design perspective and a player perspective it can be a radically different sort of effort* but I have never noted one as being easier than another to sustain a population. Something like Tetris on the DS was more or less active until it died and there are any number of other games that have been just fine.
Game lengths, the nature of drop in/drop out and amount of randomness tolerated might vary but I never would have said it is easier to sustain one way or the other.
*though even then multiplayer games can be radically different from each other depending upon the nature of interaction -- games with none being called a race, then you have varying amounts and types of interaction or scoring beyond that. On the game player side of things then two player vs three player is a very different concept (anybody sensible in a three player game where you can interact with each other will join with one of the other players to force them out of the game and in turn increase their chances of winning).
Rank 18? Well done, you must have kicked my ass a few times on the way up :-)It may have failed, but it's definitely my favourite and most played Switch game by far. Rank 18 and not planning on stopping anytime soon.
IDK haha Still looking for people to play with but yeah, not much success. And I began the game like I'm never going to even get past GP lvl 4.Rank 18? Well done, you must have kicked my ass a few times on the way up :-)
