Yeah most first party franchises will probably blow away the previous sales records on Switch. 3D Mario is about to set a new record, Zelda is already the record, Splatoon obviously already the best, Xenoblade obviously already the best, Mario Tennis will set the record next year, Kirby will easily become the second best selling Kirby ever but that original GB Kirby is such an outlier I doubt it'll hit that number. Smash will blow away the Wii's ~13 million next year. If Metroid is critically acclaimed it will blow away Metroid Prime's 2.82 million. Mario Kart doesn't have a chance, though if you combine it with the Wii U original it might come close or even get there, Mario Kart Wii's numbers were just insane, it was the perfect game to capture both Nintendo core gamers and the blue ocean non-gamers that Wii brought in (okay well it was the second most perfect game for that behind Wii Sports). I think a Switch Animal Crossing game will have a decent chance of beating the 12.14 million record for that franchise. 2D Mario obviously has no chance. And I doubt the core Pokemon game coming out next year can beat the original Pokemon's 31 million. I'm sure there will be a Pikmin on Switch at some point and it will likely break the original's 1.63 million record.
