I mean the storage would hardly be an issue if they just want to match the PS4's stance on mods. One gig allocated would do fine without any original files being allowed. Shoot you could go less than that, it's not like very many large-file-size mods are going to be coming in with all original files blocked. Sure that completely kneecaps modding but plenty of Sony fans still think Sony made "the right call" and defend them so no reason Nintendo couldn't get away with that. And no, mods were not the "main" selling point or Special Edition on Xbone would have annihilated Special Edition on PS4. It did not.
I suppose what you have to ask yourself is how much people care about the improved graphical fidelity vs the convenient portability. I mean, so far sales of Skyrim Special Eidition on the PS4 and Xbone are looking to be around 4 million. Skyrim originally sold over 20 million, something like 16 million of that on consoles. So there would certainly seem to be a good chunk of fans of the original - who let's face it, are the target of this remake - who were none too impressed by the graphical enhancements.
As for the version, no it won't have the best version but it will have some variant of the Special Edition it would seem from all indications. Which makes sense cause the Special Edition's engine is much more stable and efficient. So I think it will hold up fine enough since, let's be honest here, Skyrim Special Edition isn't turning any heads on any platform. It looks better, for sure, but it's not even in the same league as the best looking PS4 and Xbox One games.
And as for sales...eh, I could see it do a million without much issue. Skyrim is just one of those games, it sells pretty much anywhere it goes. The PS3 version was a laughing stock and it still sold over SIX MILLION copies. The Elder Scrolls has a far broader apeal and a much more powerful pull than Mass Effect has ever thought to hope to have. I'm not saying it will do gang busters or sell many millions but crossing 1 million sold? Yeah, I could absolutely see that just by virtue of it being Skyrim. In a portable form.
