We could effectively have a top 5 of 20m sellers by the end of this year.

Well I would agree normally but 1.yes they are terrible at predicting and 2.i don't see Animal Crossing being anything less than massive and I believe it will force Nintendo to ship more than they had otherwise planned. Undershipping on a major games' release could have negative affects on them, especially from those who intend to buy a Switch specifically for said game. There should be no way this quarter shipments should be down on last years' with such a big game releasing in it. At this point, I think Nintendo want to knowingly smash their forecasts to look good in the shareholders' eyes. Just my thoughts on it though.

MK8's sales numbers between the WiiU and Switch is are absolutely insane.

I've never been much of a Pokemon fan, but looking at these numbers I keep asking myself, "How would this Pokemon game have sold if fans had actually liked it?"

3Ds sold 76m and Switch is destroying it despite having far more expensive hardware and software. In fact switch has already surpassed 3ds software sales in Europe and the America's. At this rate I'd expect far more than a 24m hardware increase over 3ds especially when their is still so much room for price cuts. I think 115m to 120m is possible now.

Amazing numbers. It's a shame that pokemon sold that much. It deserves so much better but these numbers will keep enabling gamefreak's anti consumer practices.

Great numbers all around! I wish their software page included more than their Top 10 games of all-time because we lose track of smaller titles after their release quarter.

I have to agree. Nintendo is doing excellent with many new entries in series: BOTW, Mario Odyssey, Luigi's Mansion, FE Three Houses, Smash Ultimate are all excellent entries that have a lot of effort put into them. Pokemon Sw/Sh on the other hand is an improvement over the 3DS entries (no shit Sherlock), but there are a lot of smaller and bigger things that show how Gamefreak did cut corners. I'm unsure how to feel about that. For one I think the big sales of Pokemon are a great thing, on the other hand it feels like it rewards Gamefreaks complacency. Hopefully the next entry improves at least incrementally. We'll see.

MK8D crosses the 20m mark. Smash, odyssey and botw getting ready to join the 20m club. Splatoon and super mario party even more ready for the 10m club. Luigi's mansion reached 5m much faster than I thought. Great to see astral chain at over 1m, as platinum deserves it (now show us bayo 3). I expected much more for marvel but a million seller is a million seller. Link's awakening outsold the original (an extremely rare feat for a remake) and ring fit is still streching it's legs.

With Smash, 3Dmario, Zelda, mario party all setting franchise sales records on switch and Luigi's mansion 3 and FireEmblem TH soon to be the best selling in their franchises how much will the switch bump impact Animal crossing? New leaf is the best seller with 12.45m, well I think it's going to get destroyed. 18m is likely for New Horizons, anyone else agree? Personally I have bought an animal crossing game but i am buying this one, I predict so many new players.
