Both games aren't too hyped right now, but they will probably sell a few million copies. Minecraft may sell better than Monopoly, but I don't think the difference will be that big. Minecraft is already a few years old, and most people have already played it a lot, so I don't see it selling more than a few million copies.
Monopoly was quite popular on the Wii, selling almost two million copies. The Switch version looks great, and the game is perfect for the Switch since you can play it with friends or on the go.

Again, Minecraft is one of best selling games ever (actually second best after Tetris) and one of most popular, that still selling good, I dont see how that's even comparible with Monopoly game. 

Monopoly is totally niche game, while Minecraft is still selling well and still is pretty popular game. You still have Minecraft showing on weekly sales onfsoftware, while you never see Monopoly. Minecraft buy VGC numbers sold around 5m on PS4 and around 4m on XB1, but you dont have any sales for Monopoly game. Like I wrote, those two games are incomparible in any case.

Also just for record, this Minecraft version can be played in local multiplayer and in split screen.

Minecraft will sell better than Monopoly, but the difference won't be gigantic. It's not like I'm comparing Pokemon to Quantum Break. Monopoly sold 2 million copies on the Wii, while Minecraft sold 5 million copies on PS4. (Yes, 5 million is more than the double of 2 million, but since there are also games selling 20 million copies and others 50 thousand, the difference is relatively seen not that big). So it's not like comparing the two is absolutely ridiculous.

Anyways, what I was trying to say with my first post, is that both Minecraft and Monopoly (and some other games) aren't games that people think of as typical million sellers, but they can end up selling several million copies (like Super Mario Maker 3DS). If you ask someone "What are the most important games the Switch is getting?", they will answer you Super Mario Odyssee, Splatoon 2, MK8 Deluxe, maybe even Xenoblade 2. Not Minecraft or Monopoly, even though they both can sell better than Xenoblade 2.
