Given the lifetime sales versus sales in the first quarter...here is the gist.
Red Dead R. 1 sold about five million total in its first quarter, and in a year about eleven million. Headaches of different release times aside, I think one can comment on a 6-7 million sale as a fairly decent estimate no?
Now....there are franchises that can sell like that beyond such COD and FIFA titles.
For example...Animal Crossing. It's among the titles rumored to be possible E3 reveals, and with Nintendo pushing for closer or worldwide releases it could be a worldwide release with the last year having been translating for it.
Animal Crossing sold nearly 3 million in about a quarter in Japan and South Korea alone, and another about 2 million in America upon release. With the Switch flaring up sales (I was amazed at Mario sales for one), that could have similar explosive success when on a hotter seller than the 3DS.
There is also a Smash Deluxe to consider.
The Democratic Nintendo fan....is that a paradox? I'm fond of one of the more conservative companies in the industry, but I vote Liberally and view myself that way 90% of the time?
