How well do you think Metroid Dread will sell?

I disagree, being an old been-there-done-that game as opposed to a fresh new one is a minus for sales potential, not a plus, especially when you're asking for $60 for a remake of a Gameboy game.

Maybe for you, I assure it's not true for the market. The best selling Zelda on 3DS was Ocarina of Time remastered, more than A Link Between Worlds a "fresh new game" 

Wind Waker HD on the Wii U (biggest flop) sold 2.3 million copies, Majora's Mask sold over 3 million copies. Overall Zelda franchise has a history of selling very well their remasters

LA being built from the ground as a new game was definitely a plus. It didn't sell accordingly just because it's a 2D game, and the demand for 2D Zelda is just not as big as 3D Zelda as Ocarina of time and A Link Between Worlds example showed us 

I said sales potential, not real-world performance in 100% of cases. But this is frankly all beside my point.

Again, my point is this; Metroid Dread has both immense pent up demand, strong reception so far, and the Switch Effect on its side, whereas I see no reason why it's price or the fact it's 2D will prevent it selling more than prior Metroids where so many other franchises have exceeded their previous records on Switch. If Pikmin and Xenoblade can do it, so can Metroid.
