At the bolded those are the two the DS one and 3DS one that sold AMAZING lol. But none of the others did. The next closest one was the Wii and that was at like 5 mil maybe less. That's why I said why would none of those games be able to sell close to Animal Crossing? Are yous aying it is guranteed that a New Animal crossing will sell 11-12 million? Because if not then yes A LOT of those mentioned games have a shot at not only coming close to Switch numbers but surpassing them.

Just using VGC numbers for instance and 6 Animal crossing games the average is about 5.6 million. So yeah almost all of those games have a very good shot at that. Now as far as the Switch goes again it does not have any of the issues the 3DS has but of course it has some challenges to face. Every system does.....that's why I want to wait and see how it does July/August if stock and demand has caught up to get a better idea of the level of Switch sales. I truly hope it keep selling amazingly well. I plan on getting mine this fall if there is a good bundle and if not DEFINITELY when the New Pokemon game comes out!

Of course not, then I would understand how it's going to break records obviously. Duh.

Whats' the perspective? It sells to both the handheld and home console audience? Blue Ocean? Attracting greater than Wii levels of casuals?

June will be telling. July is Splatoon and an explosion of sales will come. You can't contain the splatoon hype. Seriously if ARMS pulls a splatoon on us then no worries in June as well

So Splatoon is July okay I did not know that! Now I won't say an explosion of sales will come but there will be an increase for sure. I mainly said July/August becuase I don't think Nintendo will have the shipments sorted out before July. That's what I am waiting on. To see how sales pan out once there is a steady supply out there.

I think that can be chalked up to the difference between console and handheld audiences. 
DS - 12 million --> Wii: 4.5 million --> 3DS: 11 million. (Including close to 5 million in Japan alone, which is the highest selling game of the 8th generation over there, even more than Pokemon X/Y.)
That drop and then spike isn't just a mere coincidence in my view. It's clear that Animal Crossing is at its strongest as a handheld series. Plus, out of those 6 games, two fo them were spinoffs, one of them is Amiibo Festival, which was released on the Wii U when the system was already dead in the water, plus it had the amiibo paywall going against it. But the other one, Happy Home Designer, a spinoff, has outsold the original on the GameCube, and if we factor in digital sales, Nintendo said it was at 2.02 million as of Sept. 30th, 2015, and VGC had it at around 1.3 million - so that's .72 digital sales that were unaccounted for. If we add those sales, that brings Happy Home Designer to 4 million copies sold, and it's most likely much higher than that since it has had a year and a half since then to add even more digital sales. Chances are that if it hasn't already, Happy Home Desinger will pass City Folk on the Wii as well. So that would be around 4.5 million copies sold for a SPINOFF. And given the hybrid nature of the Switch, I think Animal Crossing for Switch will do just fine, it could potentially be the highest selling game in the series if Nintendo plays their cards right.

It will sell amazing without a doubt I agree. But all I am saying is we can't say for sure that none of those games will sell close to Animal Crossing becuase there is no guarantee that Animal Crossing will sell 12 million units. It has the POTENTIAL for sure though!

Everything will drop, that's summer every year. PS4 did sub-160k average through June-July-August last year and dipped into 140k a couple of weeks as well, never rose above 180k for the whole summer.

Summer is slow, this is nothing new. But it should give Nintendo an opportunity to meet demand in the markets where it's still sold out much of the time (US and Japan have the biggest shortages by far).

We will see. Time will tell.

Hell no..... i mean in these launch weeks or months. 

It think its ridiculous thinking that a console that just launched shouldn't be selling better than whats been out there for going on 4 years now. But eventually this launch frenzy will fizzle out. And the NS baseline will either remain on par with its launch numbers or it will drop. Only then can we get a real feel for how the console will perform.

Pretty good numbers for all the big systems

Wonder how much of an effect the shortages are impacting Switch sales
