How well do you think Metroid Dread will sell?

LA had everything played perfectly to be a stellar seller, after making 3 million on first quarter this forum went wild and people were predicting almost 10 million. 2 years later still on the 5 million range, just because it exhausted the pool of people willing to pay 60 USD and will only get residual sales, mostly from quick discounts Nintendo give from time to time

Link's Awakening remake sold more than a million more copies than the original game it remade. Yet you spin it as somehow being not good or something (you actually don't specify exactly what you want to say, but between the lines you seem to insinuate, that the 5million+ copies are not good). And no, some overenthusiastic prediction of forumgoers does exactly proof nothing, people do this all the time.

So you should really, really check your reasoning, because you make less and less sense.

Good is a subjective evaluation. If you want me to say LA was successful  then yes, it was absolutely successful, probably break even with less than 1 million copies and everything else was pure profits 

Disappointing however it was. But disappointing and bad sales are different things. If BOTW 2 sells... let's say 8 million copies. It's for sure very good numbers, but a disappointment because the hype and anticipation as just too high and is succeeding BOTW, on the road to sell 30 million copies
