Your gaming predictions for 2020

[The_Liquid_Laser]

My predictions for 2020:

1.  Switch sales for January 2020 will be greater than January 2019 Switch sales, in spite of 2019's numbers benefiting from being a couple of weeks after Smash Bros. release.

2.  Animal Crossing New Horizons will sell at least 8m by year end 2020.

3.  Nintendo's E3 Direct will be at least 50 minutes even though the last two were 42-43 minutes.  They will actually have less first party content for the second half of 2020 compared to 2019, but they will be showing off more third party content including some Switch exclusives like Bravely Default 2.

4.  The sequel to Breath of the Wild will actually be released before year end 2020.

5.  Sony and Microsoft will launch their consoles in the October to November time frame.  PS5 will launch at a price of $499 USD.  Microsoft will have at least one SKU that is cheaper than this and at least one that is more expensive.

6.  All three current systems will sell well during the 2020 holidays.  People will be optimistic for all 3 systems forgetting that every system (even the Wii U) sells well during its first holiday.

7.  Switch will sell at least 23m units world wide for calendar year 2020.

8.  In North America (and NA only) Super Smash Bros Ultimate total sales will exceed Mario Kart 8 Deluxe by year end 2020.
