Ring Fit passing 20 million seems like a bit of a long shot.

It is, but never say never. There was a time when nobody thought that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will go beyond 20m, but now it's on pace to hit 30m by the end of 2020.

RFA had a low start because Nintendo was cautious with production (the box of the game is huge and takes a lot of shelf space, so that's something retailers aren't fans of), but word of mouth for RFA is very good, so it can realistically reach shipments of 1m+ in each quarter this year.

And I have carefully saved this for later...You looked too much confident lately on other topics, considering that YOU know the truth and other are dumbs. I hate people like this, those who know everything, give lessons to everyone and talk to them like if they were stupid. I have also tested you with a question about Nintendo"s stock where you just answered something empty and incomplete regarding my question, but still with this little tone of : "wait, let me explain you everything, I will teach you how it work."

So be sure I will show this later to remind you how you were wrong in your predictions.

It's understandable that you think that way, because I've strongly disagreed with your posts on this site a lot of times. The tone in my responses to you has been harsh, but that's because I respond in accordance to how other people come across. The tone of your posts is not uncommon to be aggressive, so you'll get responses of the same kind. Basically, if you work on being nicer on this site, people in general will be nicer to you as well.

If you've bookmarked my above post to shove it in my face later, you are in for a disappointment by default because there isn't much of a prediction in there. "Three of the seven games should be made" isn't much of a challenge when one of the games is already released and another one is announced; so there's only 1 out of 5 left to go. "At least one of the seven suggestions will sell 20m+" isn't much of a long shot either.

MK9 isn't coming to Switch 1 in my opinion.

If they even make SMB5, I agree, but I'm doubtful they are making that right now. They already released A game, plus DLC expansion, plus SMM, plus Tropical Freeze. The 2D side scrolling market may be tapped out on Switch and they may wait until Switch 2.

Since I'm doubtful Botw2 will come prior to 2021, I doubt it will have the time to sell like the original before the console winds down in popularity in anticipation of next gen. I'd be curious what the drop in % was from OoT to MM.

If SMO 2 yes, but again I'm doubtful it will happen.

No to Pokemon Remake. Already Let's go and one main game, the Pokemon market will be mostly tapped out I think by that point. Probably still 10-15 mil though.

Ring For shortages are killing it. I don't think it will break even 15 mil.

What is Switch Sports?

Switch Sports is a re-interpretation of Wii Sports. Of course not plain tennis, golf, bowling, baseball and boxing, but a continuation of how Wii Sports Resort had already built on the first game. Switch Sports is basically what a properly developed Wii Sports 3 would have been, similar to what Ring Fit Adventure is to Wii Fit. Not the same plain old that people already know, but an evolution of it.

I would call it Mii Sports.  I think the Wii branding still has value, especially now as a lot of people who played it as children are getting old enough to be nostalgia and have disposable income.  Obviously calling it Wii Sports wouldn't make a whole lot of sense (even though Nintendo kept the 3D in Mario 3D world) so this is the next best thing.
