Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Predict Zelda: BotW Shipments for the Quarter [I predict 3.7mil, Yours?]

Fine, 1,2 million switch. Less than 500k on Wii U. Laugh, hate, whatever,

I mean that's not a prediction I think will be the case based on what I have seen but that's hardly rage worthy.

I think over 2 million is pretty much on lock.  Could easily go higher.

1.7 million is certainly in the realm of possibility, but a bit on the low side. Those saying 3 million are probably equally off-target. 2-2.7 million is a safe range, I would say.

 

I'd love to be totally surprised and see it surpass 3M. That would mean Wii U tops 1M.

1.7 million on switch
800k on Wii U



Switch - 1,96 M
WiiU - 0,93 M

I don't know about Wii U, but your Switch prediction is already wrong.

See, Switch sold about at least 1.5m so far (according to current sales data + researches and some common sense) and the attach rate for Zelda in regions we already have data is simply impressive (ranging from 75% to 97%), and that's only physically. So I think it's pretty safe to say that Zelda already sold something around 1.2m so far, and the month is not even over yet, plus we're talking about shipments so numbers will be bigger, naturally.

 

Btw, my prediction:

- Switch: 2.2m

- Wii U: 800k

- Total: 3m



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I would say combined 3m.



I have a feeling you're overly optimistic. I say 1.5 million Switch and 400K WiiU, so just below 2M combined. Would be nice if it is more though.

I'll get a lot of hate if i post the numbers i'm predicting.

You don't have to worry about getting attacked for your numbers, because you are going to get attacked for what you've posted instead. You already can't do any worse.

Although given that you expect hate for your numbers, I find it more likely that people will laugh at you, not hate.

EDIT:

2m for Switch
0.8m for Wii U

Total - 3.6m

Is this that new style math? 



2.5m



Theres less than 2mil switch the first month right?

Lets see... how about :

1.7m for Switch
700k for Wii U

Sounds right?

I think 2.4m-2.5m is probably not too far from what it ll end up being.
