Luigi's Mansion

* = Already crossed 10m
**= Possible future games that are likely to be made.

I've been seeing Tomodachi and Luigi's Mansion on a few of these lists, so I'm not picking on you.  But I really have to wonder what makes anyone think these games will cross that threshold seeing as neither series has even approached 10 million.  Not saying it's impossible, but it strikes me as rather unlikely.  10 million is a rather huge number of games being sold.  Granted, the Switch seems to be a software sales beast, particularly for 1st party games, but even top-tier series like Zelda have trouble getting up to those heights.

I mean, Luigi's Mansion is an IP that's only had one sequel since it was first released in 2001.  If the series had that much juice in it, you'd think it wouldn't take 18 years and 3 console generations for them to finally give us another home console release.

As for Tomadachi... I don't get it.

They both sold ~6 million on 3DS so I guess people think since many series are showing growth on Switch that these will as well.

I dont see 10 million happening but I could see moderate growth happening so 7-8 million.
