I'm sure MK8DX is going to be a million seller, but after its release Switch will only have Minecratf, DIsgaea 5 and Ultra Street Fighter 2. Is enough?

 

What do you think?

If they can keep supply up, it should be able to sell well, especially if it can ride off the success of MK8 (they really need to bring that MK8 bundle over).



Sure. Consoles usually don't have much to offer the following months after launch.



yes.

in 2014, Mario Kart 8 released on May 30 and June had better sales than May.

in 2015, Splatoon released on May 29 and June had better sales than May.

Mario Kart Deluxe releases on April 28 so it should be able to carry sales through May and those titles you listed above will act as support titles.

I bet putting Mario Kart at the end of April helps secure at least decent sales in May.

MK8D will hold the Switch through May, just how Zelda has been carrying the Switch throughout much of this month. .



As Zelda did for Switch so far, MK 8 will be for Switch in may.May may not be the best month in terms of sales, but it will be just fine.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Mario Kart will have a bigger impact on May's sales than April's.

nah, they will try getting a few million sales of MK Deluxe at full price then bundle it in time for the holidays.

they are currently selling Switch as fast as they can ship them so bundling a game at the moment wont increase sales, it will just lower their profit margins.

Minecraft can end up as way bigger than people are expecting, especially in Europe.
