This game is going to be like Splatoon, a new series that performed strongly but held back severely by the platform it was on then the sequel releases on a popular platform and it explodes. This game is selling over 10 million without a doubt.

So many potential 10-million sellers on this platform. Most of Nintendo's IPs are now very healthy.

2019 alone has 3-4 titles that will do it (assuming they dont get delayed).

1. Super Mario Maker 2-reason listed in previous post.

2. Animal Crossing-the DS & 3DS versions each did over 12 million.

3. Pokemon Gen 8-a new generation Pokemon duo has never sold less than 15 million.

4. New Super Mario Bros Deluxe-this one will have the hardest time but I think it will be like Mario Kart, a hugely popular series that was held back by being on Wii U.

The only thing potentially holding it back is Mario Maker releasing so soon after it but I think they are different enough that they wont compete and will instead complement each other.
