Oh, yeah, completly forgot about Super Mario Party. I'm thinking it will ship 5m this quarter, so it has a decent chance at reaching 10m eventually. Btw, I would say Luigi's Mansion falls in the same category as it (a possibility, not a wild card really).

Well, now that I think about it. It could have a better chance than I gave it credit for. The series managed to jump from 3.6 million with the first game to 5-6 million for the second game. I would absolutely love it and do jumps of joy if the game managed to pull it off because I love the Luigi's Mansion series, (my personal favorite Mario spinoff series and 2nd favorite overall right behind the mainline platformers). And for it to reach 10 million would pretty much guarantee that Luigi's Mansion becomes a regular, recurring Nintendo franchise.

I would add a new 3d mario game (Odyssey came early so I guess they will have the time to release a new one)!
Also what about mario maker 2? First one did great for wii U (around 4M)

A new 3D Mario game could do it. It'll depend on two factors. 1) How late it releases in the Switch's life cycle, Galaxy 2 released in 2010 during the Wii's 4th full year on the market and at a time where Wii sales, while still impressive, were noticeably beginning to nosedive. 2) If the next 3D Mario is too similar to Odyssey like Galaxy 2 was to Galaxy 1 (It started out as just an expansion pack of Galaxy 1 before Nintendo decided to make it a full blown sequel), then it could eat into some of its potential sales.
And a Mario Maker 2 could certainly pull it off, or a new 2D Mario made from scratch. Either one of those could absolutely sell 10 million on the Switch.
