For the mainline series 8 more games at least.

Including spin offs maybe one game less at best.

The series on generations are as follows (mainline series):

NES: 2
SNES/GB: 3
N64/ GBC: 4
GCN/GBA: 6
Wii/DS: 4
Wii U/3DS: 4 and counting - at least one more?

Thats 3.83 games per gen. Round that up to 4 and we have a 2 generation wait.

Minus a game for the new Wii U one and take away one more game for spin off tat and that leaves a 6 game wait.

My guess would be mid to late 9th gen which will be 2025ish.


If 3 million per mainline game is the new normal than it would take 8 more games. I hope it doesn't take that long. With Majora's Mask 3D's strong release week, and the fact that 3 other games are still on the market selling, plus unaccounted digital sales, I don't think it would take 8 more (including spinoffs, unless they release a lot more spinoffs for Wii U)
