How about it? I guess that's the point of the thread, so place any bet you want, have fun ! Sure, if a new Pokemon arrives quickly after this one but no other Smash, then Smash will have better legs and should sell better in the long term. I'm not saying it won't happen. But saying "Switch SW sales are on fire, so Smash will sell 50% more than usual, but on the other hand Pokemon will sell 50% less than usual" is a big exaggeration IMO. |
Well Smash would be the third franchise to go beyond previous highs on Switch. Mario Odyssey is already preparing to pass Galaxy and Breath of the Wild has passed previous Zeldas. And of course Splatoon 2 also far surpassed Splatoon 1. So Smash doing the same wouldn't be unusual. 20mil is a bit high I think but 15 to 17 is entirely within reach.
Pokemok Lets Go just lacks some of the key selling points of main entries but the biggest issue is that it isn't Gen 8. It's been shown time and time again that millions of fans don't care for third versions, gen sequels, and remasters. So at best that will almost certainly limit it. Anywhere from 5 mil to 12 mil I would say is the range. I lean towards the middle.
And Gen 8 is confirmed for next year,. Smash, on the other hand, will almost certainly not get a sequel on Switch.
