Wow, a lot more votes since the last time I looked, and the percentages are pretty much still the same.

So if the Switch sells a conservative number for 2017, say 4 million units, and 30% of those people buy Skyrim, then that is 1.2 million units of the game sold through.

The initial launch of 2 million units is already sold out and Switch should easily sell 2 million more by the end of this year.

What do you think? Will Skyrim for Switch sell 1.2 million units this year? The poll says yes.

I don't think it will work that way. People on this forum are commited gamers but the general population has a more casual approach to games. You can't really extrapolate data from the poll. I suspect being an old title, at a high price with limited performance it will sell poorly. People mainly buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games and exclusive games.

 

One thing helping Skyrim for Switch is the fact that there will not be a huge amount of games in the first year of the Switch's life. Less competition from other games means better sales numbers for Skyrim.
