Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, and Splatoon 2 will all pass 10 million

Go home curl, you're drunk. Mario will probably reach this number. But thta's it. No other Zelda ever sold more than 7M something, and if you count for BOTW also the WiiU-number (reasonable), than you can compare with TP in similar situation, that sold 8.something M. BOTW might go better, but 10 million as a first for the series is a big stretch. For Splatoon it is even more unlikely. While I think the sequel can grow, doubling the number of the predecessor is way too much.

Previous Zeldas not reaching 10 million doesn't mean Botw can't; it dramatically reinvents the series and as such has the ability to reach a broader audience than any prior entry. Pretty sure no previous Zelda did 3.8 million in its first month either.

That it is sellign faster initially doesn't mean much, as games tend to sell more frontloaded in these times. I agree, BOTW reinvents the series a bit, but still it seems farfetched to reach 10M. A small chance there is though.
