It will surpass 20 million this year alone and Switch will likely live on 2-3 more years. We'll see, maybe the pandemic is boosting software sales (mainly on eshop). So maybe that could help. I think when they fully reveal the sequel, the game will be brought back to the main scene and so will probably have a little boost from people that still hesitated to play the game and now there is a sequel to it coming - looking amazing.
It could also make it to Nintendo select on day but idk about that. Nintendo would lose money if they did that rn. This kind of collection happens in year 4 of a console so maybe we will see it make it's way on Switch. I think they could put the only games that struggled a little on it like DK TF and Kirby for 30$.
I did vote for 21-23 millions, but currently i think it could make it to 25 millions. It's crazy how many 20+ million games the Switch will have. And i might add, games/franchises that are deserving of it. Zelda was always a really ambitious franchise but only struck around 5 millions a game. Which is big, but deserving way more. Nintendo took a risk in investing in the Botw engine which costs A LOT of money, and time, but they pretty much made the money back and a lot of benefits just with Botw alone and it being a system seller for the Switch.
Glad this happens and will likely encourage them to take more risk. Now if only Gamefreak would use the Botw engine for climate in battle and in the overworld smh. They will probably get a wake up call when Animal crossing and F*cking ZELDA surpasses a NEW GEN pokemon game. That is absolutely insane. Cause yea, pokemon games don't have legs like we've seen on Zelda and the DLC doesn't look good enough to sell more games.
