Didn't you say that it would sell on par with New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe?

That it was no big deal?

That people had Mario fatigue?

That it would sell less than 20 million lifetime?

Nope. i said it would be 20 million to 22 million max, mainly cause yes there are too many mario games on switch and expecting switch sales to slow down but the switch is surprisingly still going strong after 7 years and with almost everyone expecting switch 2. I still expect mainly 20-22 million on switch only.

I was referring the original estimate of 20 million, though I did see the 20-22m forecast which came later.

Honestly, it had been 11 years since the last time a new 2D Mario came out so I'd just plain forgotten what their sales pattern look like. Wonder will outsell NSMBUD, it'll just take a little more than 2 months and 11 days.

There are a lot of Mario games on Switch, but I don't see any sign that people are fatigued; some things are just so popular that people never seem to tire of them.
