Pokémon :

Well we don't really know what the game is, maybe it's a remake. But honestly I would wait before making any predictions about this game since we don't know at all how it's going to look and from the last 2 generations, I just feel the disappointment coming (which they don't care since they sold better than the 5G which is Imo the best one by far). I think the game has a fair shot at doing over 20 millions but again, it could do under 20 million if the game is disappointing and the price is 59$, not much people will buy 2 copies of that.

Animal Crossing :

I think yes because of how convenient the Switch is for this type of game and taking how well software is selling on it. We know it will be a good game and it's crazy how many people are waiting for this game. I think it can sell 15 millions lifetime.

Metroid Prime 4 :

I think the game needs to be really bad for it to not beat the other Metroid Prime games. The Switch is selling amazingly and It's demographic is right on with games like this. Also, there will be most likely a port/remaster of Trilogy on Switch to make people aware of the franchise. And with Internet, people are more informed than in the past. I remember with the Wii, a lot of people didn't even know Smash bros existed so image Metroid. Now you only need some good reviews and marketing and your game is everywhere. I think it's part of why Nintendo games are doing so well, people are now realizing how well received their games are when you see how Zelda broke Metacritic, you can tell it's really popular to check reviews for games now.

So if the game isn't too bad, like around 80-85 meta, it will definitely beat the first game.
If it has around 90-95 like the other prime games, it can reach around 5 millions imo.

Another factor I want to add for Metroid, of course it's a solo adventure, but with Nintendo and it's new servers, they won't ditch such a good opportunity to have their own mature multiplayer adventure with a well known franchise. I really think they will add a kinda complete yet not too much multiplayer experience to make some people Switch up to the online subs. But also, that would clearly help make the game people. This is also why I think we will have another Kid Icarus on Switch similar to Uprising, which would be a dream honestly.
