Well Zelda BotW is track to be best selling Zelda game ever, Mario Odyssey best selling 3D Mario game ever, Splatoon 2 alredy sold out Splatoon 1, Smash Bros for Switch could be best selling Smash Bros ever, only hard to beat is MK Wii beacuse it had strong bundles, so its not hard to imagine that Pokemon on Switch become best selling  Pokemon game. Also from Pokemon GO, there are plenty of new Pokemon fans.

It is hard to imagine. Zelda, Mario etc had much less to do to become the best selling entry. Pokemon has to literally double what the last entry sold to take the sales record, and 15m isn't a small figure to double either.

There is reason for that, Pokemon was always far more popular than Zelda and 3D Mario, its easily strongest Nintendo IP, so if we look big Nintendo hiters on Switch until now, first HD Pokemon game will also be huge in any case, how much huge we will see, but at this point 20m+ sounds very believable.
