Switch almost 2:1 over PS4 globally.

Mario Maker 2 has pushed a lot of units even beyond its launch week, so much for the theory that it wouldn't be a system seller cos "people who like Mario already have a Switch."

130 million is the floor for PS4 lifetime sales IMO.

2D Mario always sells better than 3D Mario. Nintendo did not invest in 2d Mario the series decreases in sales. She placed second teams and invested very little in the New series the series fell in sales on Wiiu and 3DS. A 2D Mario, with AAA quality, with new worlds, villains, new multiplayer modes (à la DS New Mario) will sell 10-20M. Regular sales of Mario Editor and a port NSMBU are an indicator of this.

Yeah I've felt for many years Nintendo have been pissing it in with 2D Mario and failing to make the most of its potential. MM2 at least brings in a new level of visual quality in the 3D World mode, (Which is what 2D Mario should have looked like on Wii U in the first place rather than just NSMBWii in HD) and more variety. As a 2D Mario game, it's the best one since World in 1990.

Still, you see a lot of people dismissing games like this or BOTW2 as system sellers cos "people who like Mario/Zelda games already bought a Switch in 2017", this shows that's not necessarily true.
