I know, I think it can/will do 1m+ FW combined, I'm just saying this isn't 100% guaranteed yet. It will need a great attach rate for the first week to do it.

Btw, can you do a breakdown between Switch/WiiU of your 3.5m prediction? I'm guessing you're expecting the Switch version to do at least 2m FW? In that case, the attach rate would need to be something like 50% FW. I believe that's unprecedented (or extremely rare) for a game not bundled.

I'll do better. I'll put my prediction for each worlwide section (N.A,Eur. and Japan)

N.America : 1,5M(Switch), 0,3M(WiiU)

Europe : 0,75M(Switch), 0,2M(WiiU)

Japan : 0,4M(Switch), 0,1M(WiiU)

P.S : After revising my numbers I'll put down my prediction to 3,25M copies sold in FW. And the game is probably gonna have a bundle with the switch. But later in it's lifetime.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're putting the Switch version at 2.65m FW, right? Nintendo expects to ship 2m for the launch period (people think it's either for the 2 weeks of march, or first full month), so it Breath of the Wild launches with Switch you're prediction failed by default as it would need to sell more than the number os available consoles. But even if the game releases on June, it would still need to have an attach rate bigger than 50%... and on launch while at that. This is almost... unpredecented. I'm 99% sure this won't happen, but eh, I'm a Zelda fan, so I'll be rooting for it. ^^
