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.

Wii was casual platform and party and family games like Monopoly sold great on it, but Minecraft is seeling great on evre platform even now. If you comparing sales of Minecraft on PS4 and Monopoly on Wii, take in account that PS4 has almost twice smaller instal bases, but again comparision doesnt make any sense beacuse you cant find sales numbers for Monopoly on PS4 beacuse it has bad sales numbers.

Totally wrong, Minecraft is well known milion seller (you do realise that game sold 122m), its milion seller on every platform that was released, Monopoly was milion seller only on Wii and PC. Minecraft will easily pass at least 1m on Switch and probably 2m, Monopoly in best case will sell 200-300k, Monopoly is totally niche game while Minecraft is still pretty strong game even ofcourse its not on level of Nintendo 1st party games. So yes, comparing Monopoly and Minecraft is totally ridiculous, one is totally niche game that most people dont know that even exist, while other is second most selled game in history of video games thats is still popular and still have pretty good sales.
