Can NSMBUD sell 10 million?

Even if they all sold the same or more, there's two things that need to be considered:
Not all of them did that when Switch had already sold as much as Wii U;
Newer ports are arriving when Switch is already past Wii U - and by a significant margin.

I'm not questioning the ability to outsell the Wii U version. I'm merely questioning the ability to sell the double (which this thread is about).

From the little i have seen, i didn't see a title that doubled the original's figures.

Who cares? You are making arguments that support what I'm saying, Wii U ports on Switch are doing better because Wii U was holding the games back (low install base).

Look back at my first reply to you, I mentioned that 10m might not happen but outselling the original was likely, ever since then our discussion has been about outselling the original.

Then we have been talking for nothing, really, as i didn't question that.

What i have said about Wii U holding back was pretty simple: not every game was hold back in a meaningful way, at least to have figures like doubling the original.
Some games were really hold back (MK 8 for example), some weren't (NSMB U, in my opinion).

I use MK8 as an example because, even though it shared the same userbase, it reached NSMB U figures way, way faster and even surpassed them. Same goes for Smash, too - minus the overall sales figures (3DS port!).

NSMB U selling as much as the original or surpassing it was never an issue to me.
