You don't think people are longing for a new SMB game in the year that the most successful movie based on a video game was released?

More importantly, did you properly understand what you were responding to in the first place? Switch's final top 3 of best-selling games.

I think it will do well, but the open world genre is king now and i don't see a 2d Mario beating it, Especially since switch already got one. So yea i'll take that bet. look at what Elden ring did for souls  going open world and same for zelda and 2d just isn't it. A open world 3d Mario i can see beating Zelda, not a 2d one.

I would take that bet as well. 2D Mario games have benefitted greatly in the past from being the perfect game for casuals to pick up along with the console over its lifespan, but in this case it's just coming out too late, U Deluxe has been the game to benefit from that and I don't think we can expect every U Deluxe owner to go out and get Wonder, probably nowhere close. Wonder will still sell well ofc, but I don't see it reaching the 30 mil range or outselling Odyssey for that matter.
