CoD will crush Odyssey in every sales catagory. It will have more pre-orders, more sales the first week, and more lifetime sales. Galaxy is the highest selling 3D Mario game and it only hit 10 million on the Wii, with a 100 million user install base. The last Black Ops sold 14 million just on PS4 alone. If the Switch winds up selling 130 million units lifetime, and Odyssey becomes a Nintendo Selects title for $20, then it might beat CoD WWII. But that's a really long shot.

More preorders: possible

More first week sales: probably

More Lifetime sales: not so much

Super Mario Odyssey is THE next Killer App for the Switch, and like every mainline Mario will keep on selling even years after release. CoD on the other hand has one year for all it's sales and is very frontloaded. While Black Ops 3 has the most sales of every CoD, last year's Infinite Warfare only managed to get half it's sales. That's still better than any CoD with WW2 setting. However, CoD wasn't nearly as big as it is nowadays back then, but I don't expect it getting close to BO3.

By end of 2017, CoD will be still in front by a good margin due to lack of enough Switch consoles. By end of 2018 however, I'm pretty sure SMO will be in front
