This game will keep selling units throughout the entire PS5/Xbox Series generation, just like GTA V and Minecraft kept selling units this entire generation. It'll use all these factors to its advantage and to keep itself trendy and talked about:
- Patches in the weeks after launch.
- Patches that add content.
- The two single-player expansions in 2021.
- The next-gen update in 2021.
- The online multiplayer in 2022.
- CDPR will put it on Game Pass for a few months or a year and then take it out to have a word of mouth effect on Xbox. Worked with RDR2, which, after being on Game Pass, saw a increase in its sales.
- Periodical updates to the multiplayer throughout the gen GTA Online style.
- Free play weekends.
- They will do partnerships with other brands in the multiplayer, Fortnite style. You know, adding Ferrari cars, or guns from Starfield or Halo or The Outer Worlds 2 when those games come out or whatever. Special online events, too.
- They will make the multiplayer F2P by 2026 or 2027.
- In 2027 or 2028, the game will receive a next-gen SKU for the PS6 and the Series X2/S2.
Not only will it sell 30 million units (it's gotta be at +15 already if it was at 13 after 10 days), it will sell around 50 million units lifetime because it will receive a next-gen SKU when PS6 and Series X2/S2 come out and it'll have strong legs.
I'm also expecting The Witcher 3 to hit 50 million units by 2023.
