Super Mario Party is going to sell alot of switches you can quote me on that

It's looking good so far according to Amazon US, where it's the only game outside of Smash that doesn't get released very soon and doesn't want to drop down just yet

Little late to the party, but I think it will end up between 14 and 16 Million this year. I believe sales are going to be very low over the summer months, which will bring it back in line with last year by end of September. I believe it will have a stronger holiday than last year, which will put it up year over year.

A couple things I am looking at are paid online and non gaming apps. If the paid online gets a major negative buzz, then it could really effect sales. The lack of music and video apps could hold it back in the main stream as well. Why buy a Switch when a PS4/XBO or a Fire TV/AppleTV could offer more games and non gaming expereinces? I just feel like the system is riding on the popularity of Nintendo software alone, and we saw how far that got the WiiU.

Because I can play both Nintendo games and Multiplats everywhere I go?

It's not just Nintendo games, though of course they are taking center stage on a Nintendo console. There are more and more third party games getting announced, and while they don't produce high sales boosts, they do contribute to a higher baseline than what we had last year.
