If Metroid Prime 4 gets a metascore over 80/85 I can guarantee you that it'll become the best selling game in the Metroid franchise, it's been so long since the last Metroid Prime that this will be like a brand new IP and find new fans, plus Nintendo seems to have their marketing working properly for the Switch titles.
Animal Crossing similarly I think is very likely, there's A LOT of hunger for Animal Crossing among Switch owners and people who are on the fence, Japan will singlehandedly buy like 5M units of the game, it's the biggest IP there.
Pokémon I'm gona say no, 32M is just too much, yes, the Switch has very high atach rates, but it still has a somewhat small install base, when the console gets to 30/40M I can assure you that the atach rates will start dropping, unless the Switch sells like 160M LT and this Pokémon title isn't followed until like 3 years later by another Pokémon game it won't sell that much

That's kind of setting the bar low since 3D Zelda, Mario and Metroid are essentially Nintendo's holy trinity when it comes to well reviewed games. Metroid Prime 4 getting something like an 80-85 on metacritic when every game in the Prime series has reviewed over 90 would actually be a warning flag that it might be a sub-par game.

I know but it's been so long since the last Metroid Prime that there's the possibility reviewers might not enjoy as much the previous titles, I don't know, maybe they got used to different shooters or maybe they'll introduce some weird mechanic that won't appeal to everyone, I just think it'll be hard to break the 90+ Metascore nowdays despite all of Nintendo and Bandai's efforts, besides Xeno 2 is also the lowest rated Xenoblade (albeit only one point shy of XCX) and yet it already outsold the rest of the series, Metroid could do the same
