Breath of the Wild has a much wider appeal than other 3D Zeldas did. It did something different and interesting to expand the people interested in it. It also has social-media with thousands of people sharing to millions of others about how much fun they're having with Zelda. doing all this really cool stuff

Super Mario Odyssey doesn't have that advantage. As sc94597 above points out, games do have their saturation points regardless of how well hardware sells, or how fast the software sells. We've seen Final Fantasy games sell most of what they're ever going to sell in a 1 day period.

Comparing FF to Mario in terms of legs was your mistake. If you think they Are comparable your surely mistaken

The point is the outstanding day one sales recent FF games didn't mean they were going to vastly outsell all past Final Fantasy games. Final Fantasy was an obvious example, and that's why I used it. Unless you can prove that bigger day 1 sales = bigger overall sales in the Mario franchise, then the comparison is apt.
