Maybe because the probability of it happening is high?

Official sales were 4.7 million at the end of September and it has charted high in Media Create, NPD & Gfk every week/month since then.

When Nintendo reports numbers next week, BotW will most likely be over 7 million just with the Switch version.

At this point it would be more surprising if it doesnt hit 10 million.

Okay, so let's get this straight. The last official numbers are 4.7M as of September 30th. Since then you;'re assuming it's sold another 2.3 million in the 16 or so weeks between then and now based on sales rankings of Media Create, NPD and GFK sales. So it could be 7 million right now, but you don't have any hard numbers until next week.

Does that about sum it up?

No, i suppose i just didnt go in depth enough.

Shipments end of March, 2.76 million

 

Retail sales in Japan end of March, 330k

Retail sales in Japan end of Dec, 770k

2.3x

Retail sales in US end of March, 925k

Retail sales in US end of Dec, 2.64m

2.8x

Retail sales in Japan+US end of March, 1.25m

Retail sales in Japan+US end of Dec, 3.40m

2.7x

 

Assuming that global totals are similar than it should be in the general ballpark of 7 million.
