many of you are way too high

Look at Twilight princess ans its 8millions unit sold, it was on gamecube, a console far more successful than the WiiU, and on Wii, a console far more successful than the Switch could ever be.

It will sell well though, but somewhere between 4 and 7 millions, my guess is 5.8

The industry has changed since then. It has grown a lot (excluding Japan), and it's much more mainstream. Games sell a lot more, so there's potential for every game. Heck, even if the Switch doesn't sell 50 million units, Nintendo fans buy a lot more games these days (see Splatoon, MK8 and Smash tie ratios).

But on the other hand, Nintendo didn't take advantage of this until the NX was first mentioned...

Are you really a writer here? The console gaming industry has been declining dangerously, yes the PS4 started with reallly good numbers, but it's failing in japan (compared to their previous consoles) and Nintendo's market shares are the ones that took the biggest hit.

Yes if you include the mobile industry, gaming right now is hotter than ever. But let's be serious here, 12 millions Zelda, one on failed system and the other on a new console that could probably fail miserably ?
