a genre with only one notable game in the past 6 years sounds pretty dead to me tbh

That "one notable game" is the sixth best selling game of all time. The reason there aren't many others is because the cream of the crop (Mario Kart) is so hard to beat, but Mario Kart alone sells more than some other genres do nowadays, period. And even despite knowing they will never top Mario Kart, imitations still exist. That genre isn't dead at all. Saying kart racing is a dead genre implies a new Mario Kart wouldn't sell, which we know isn't even remotely true. Kart racing is just fairly unique in that one series has dominated the genre immensely, but that doesn't mean it's "dead" at all. The truth is that a new Mario Kart would outsell 99% of other games, still.
