Unless Nintendo have another annual experimental title like Ring Fit or Mario Kart Live still to be announced a month or so out from release that manages to catch on like the foerm, it's looking like Switch's next real system seller isn't until next year. (Pokemon Legends) Hopefully sales don't lose steam in the meantime.

Hmm. Well pretty sure Pokemon Diamond/Pearl remake is gonna sell like a normal pokemon game, 15+ million, so this year at least has a huge holiday title.

Medium to big selling games still to come this year: Monster Hunter Stories 2, Mario Golf, Skyward Sword, Mario Party, Pokemon D/P. Right there you've got two games that should sell at least 5 million, Skyward Sword should sell at least 3 million, and two will be major 10+ million sellers, plus Dread which is a big name though it likely won't sell that much. That seems like a good amount, especially compared to last year which was basically just Mario 3D All Stars and Hyrule Warriors for the second half of the year. And there is probably one or two first party games we don't know about yet. I'm definitely expecting better sales the second half of this year than the second half of last year when the whole year relied on one game from March to push sales.

Mario Golf and MHS2 aren't going to sell 5+ million. I'm expecting Mario Golf to reach 4mil in the long run and that would make it the best selling Mario sports game. Mario Tennis Aces is just over 3mil as of 2019 and is the best selling one. MHS isn't as big as the mainline games. You're overestimating both. Skyward Sword on the Wii sold 3.67mil. The HD version should outsell it by far. I'm expecting it to sell more than Link's Awakening.

Also Wario Ware could sell over 3mil copies. SMTV, NMH3 and Advance Wars are all likely million sellers. At least NMH3.

I think the only likely 20mil seller this year is SM3DW from February, but that's not guaranteed either.
