| Green098 said: Splatoon sold almost practically the same as 3D world so it's not that hard to believe it can't close to those numbers. Beside you say we are treating like this is a DS, I didn't use any DS numbers, I used 3DS numbers. A console doesn't need to sell 100 million+ to get these kind of software numbers. Just because a Zelda game hasn't sold 10 million before doesn't mean this one won't, there hasn't been a Zelda quite like this one, esspecially on something that's also a handheld. |
3D World is a bad comparison since 3D World was not nearly as hyped as Odyssey was. 3D World was the worst-selling 3D Mario by far, and for a reason. The idea of it being a sequel to 3D Land didn't intrigue many people and is perceived as not a real 3D Mario. Mario Odyssey has, what, 30 million views combined for both youtube trailers? I don't recall 3D World even hitting anything as high as that. And well, yes, a console does need 100 million to hit the software numbers the guy I replied to implied. 20-25 for Pokemon will only happen with those sort of numbers. 10 million? Sure. But not 20. Zelda could hit 10 million, but his prediction of 12-13 or whatever it was is double what the best-selling Zelda has sold. My point is that these predictions are far-fetched, and well, they are. These predictions are loosely based on the Switch being an incredibly successful console, and right now, it's far too early to make that prediction. Absolutely anything can happen- and people are getting far too excited. It's giving me that Michael Pachter vibe.
