Well the highest 3D mario game sold like 12+ million. So there is a reason to be skepitcal. I also have been going blind on this game so I only know what people tell me |
I almost got mad at this until you replied to StarDoor xD I was worried you were calling me an idiot!
Here's what I'll say on the issue: There are certain franchises on Switch that, no matter what the systems lifetime sales are(as long as their above 30 mil) will get a huge increase in overall consumer base. And that's mainly because even if the handheld function of the Switch didn't make the system a huge success, that userbase of new handheld users being exposed to certain franchises will increase userbase. A great example is Splatoon 2. If Splatoon one was (somehow) a 3DS game then the sequel probably would have done Monster Hunter numbers in Japan. However, the current lack of stock as well as the fact that Splatoon 2 is still being introduced to handheld gamers means that the series is gaining a steady amount of a new userbase.
Combine this with the fact that A ) Super Mario 3D Land is the highest selling 3D Mario in Japan and B ) Most people in the world have not had easy access to a 3D Mario since arguably the Wii days, and I think we'll see that interest in 3D Mario has slightly grown, at least lifetime.
There's also the point that i've been saying since before Switch's launch, that reinventing these franchises sort of like Ocarina of Time or Mario 64, will ultimately create a boost in sales for them.
