Very tough to call. So far, they have been pretty gung ho about it, but we have to wait and see if they close the lead up to release out with a big marketing push or if they go gun shy at the last second like they did with X. Hopefully they do promote it, I think both this game and the series as a whole has more widespread appeal potential than has been exploited thus far. Current trends rught now is every major retail exclusive is getting a push so that's a good sign.
And of course, the Switch is on fire vs the Wii U which was dead and the Wii which was in its twilight.
Xenoblade has had some good bursts of activity on Amazon, Gamestop, and other retailers so that's a good sign at least.
Also, the game launches more than one full month after Odyssey and in one of the highest spending periods of the year. That gives it some breathing room and a lot of possible sales to he had. It also means Xenoblade 2 will be the big exclusive of November-December which could work out very nicely for it given how many new Switch owners there will be in that time.
Overall, I'm optimistic. I think this will be the one to break 1 million, could go well beyond but we'll see. 1.5 seems reasonable.
