Well, comparison can be complicated... but yep, writing off the legs of a game because it released couple months ago and isn't charting on October-Dec rank doesn't make much sense...

Still I agree that will be hard for Switch games to achieve the legs of Wii games (some charting high after a year of release) and also selling on the levels of MK on Wii, that was monster level.

Well, (his examples) MKWii. I don't think MK8D will ever match up to that. Zelda, a bad example on his part, as BOTW likely to smash Twilight Princess on Wii and Splatoon, which, apart from doing really well, it has nothing to compare to on Wii. What was really strange tho was saying they had to stack up selling 70% of LTD in 18 months or something. Very specific and obviously tailored to his narrative. Cherry picking at its finest.

I think he were more likely showing that the game hitting 70% of LT sales on its first 18 months wouldn't have big legs... from what I remember most games would hit that 70% in 12 months or less.
