I think it still has tremendous potential. Despite sales declining, I think sales are going to be much higher than people are thinking. If I may be so bold, I'm predicting it to sell 1 million units more.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

It will finish at 23 million.

I really do hope Nintendo doesn’t fuck up the sequel.

We know from Japanese sales thread that the Wii U version is at least 2m putting the total at 18.3m meaning by the end of June the total should cross 20m at the current rate.

Can you give me a source for that.

Official info I have from Nintendo is 1.65M and that was on December 31st 2018. Unlikely it sold another 400k in a year.

The source was the Japanese charts on this very site and a site I had bookmarked that seems to be gone now although from the numbers I've looked up on the official front we have 1.65m for the end of 2018 so you're right we'll go with that.
