I haven't played it yet but at least from reviews it seems like a low effort game compared to what I had hoped for (like all Nintendo's sports games have been on Switch).
As it is, I see it doing <15 million which is low for what I would expect out of this game, but makes sense for the effort level they seemingly put into it (at least from what I've read). It had a good opening and will have legs but I'm not sure it'll get above 15 million. I'll get it eventually once Golf is out this Fall. I don't know the details of what all it has other than just knowing the sports it has, but it seems like the critical reception has been muted, which is unfortunate. For years I've been saying Switch needs a Wii Sports sequel and it would automatically be a 20 million seller but for some reason Nintendo has been releasing all mediocre sports games for Switch (Aces, Golf, Strikers, Sports) in which they have to add content after launch to even get the games to a competent level of content, and this seems to be another.
Hopefully it is really good and better than what I've heard, but even if it is I haven't seen the word of mouth to suggest it'll leg itself to 20 million. But just the fact that it's a Wii Sports sequel on Switch means it'll get over 10 million on brand name alone. I could see it getting close to 15 million. If they keep updating and adding content and improving it after the Golf update maybe it could have huge legs, but as far as I know the only planned updates were to finish the soccer game which already happened, and add Golf this Fall.
I'm looking forward to playing it but from what I've heard I don't think it'll be the 20+ million it could have been.
