Very clearly Nintendo keeping anything that could be a 10+ million seller for Switch 2 at this point.

Playable Zelda is neat, but I dunno if that game is more than a 4-5 million unit seller, also not really sold on that gameplay mechanic.

Felt like they didn't want to make a game where Zelda fights anyone directly, lol. 

I agree that there wasn't anything here that will move hardware like Mario or Zelda did last year.  However, I do think the new Mario Party will likely sell 10M+.  Metroid Prime 4 has a decent chance at 10M+ if it's good enough since several Switch sequels have set new sales records compared to earlier entries.  I agree that this new Zelda game will probably sell more like 4-5 million though.

Yeah Mario Party maybe, but Prime has no chance at 10 mill I think. If Prime 4 can sell 5 million, think that'd be a fairly good win for the franchise, if its cross-gen it might get a bit of a boost being in the Switch 2's launch window. 

Honestly think 4-5 million might be high for that Zelda game too, maybe more like 3-4 million. The gameplay does look I dunno ... it screams "spin-off!" more than I expected a Zelda game starring Zelda to be.
