I wish everyone would boycott it the first week and buy it week 2 just to make them sweat a minute. I'll more than likely, change my mind two days after it comes out and buy it, but I'm not buying it day one. It will have no effect, but in principle I don't support charging $70 simply because they know they can on this one title. If you are going to charge $70 I want to see expensive ray tracing features and hdr which they can't give us on the Switch. |
Dude you don't even need to pay $70. You can pay $50. I preordered it for $50. If you've got NSO you can get two game vouchers for $100. I did that and used the first one on TotK so I got it for $50.
Even if you don't have NSO (you should, it's awesome) you spend $20 on the basic NSO subscription and get the two game vouchers for $100, save $20 on TotK so that pays for the year of NSO right there, and you still get $10 off another $60 game. So if you really want to protest the $70 price point you don't wait a few days to buy TotK, that's not a protest, instead you buy it day 1 for $10 cheaper than a normal game rather than $10 more than a normal game.
Anyway, yes I think TotK will blow by 20 million. The launch is going to be absolutely monster. I could see a 10 million launch weekend (honestly it could be even higher), 15+ million by end of the quarter (end of june), and 20 million before the holiday season starts. Maybe 22-23 million by end of the year. Possibility it is even more front loaded though, like 12m launch weekend, 18 million first quarter, 20 million after summer quarter, 22-23 million by end of year.
Unlike BotW that grows steadily as the Switch user base expands, TotK is entering into a 125 million userbase and there are a ton of people who have been waiting years for this game. It is the most hyped game of any game that has ever come out on Switch. Most people who played BotW are gonna get this game, and most of those people are gonna get it day 1 or at least soon after it comes out. So first week and first quarter sales should be monster and legs should be fairly small.
