Mario Party has got to be one of Nintendo's best series in terms of return on investment. The development time isn't long and the budget probably not high but each entry is selling extremely well now. 

With ten weeks to go it needs to sell on average 66.4k to get to 3m so definitely doable but it'll probably fall short of that for at least most of the next 5 weeks. It'll likely come down to how much of a boost it gets in December since it barely got one at all last time.

That's true Mario Party makes bank for Nintendo. The other two Switch games have sold 20 million and what like 13 million or something. This one likely gonna hit 10 million too, and yeah no doubt it probably doesn't take a big budget for these games and they can realease a 2-3 each gen. I've never been interested in the series but it's a super lucrative series for Ninty.

My guess is Switch just barely falls short of 3mil this year. I'm thinking 2.95m. Would love to see it pass 3m in the final week though one last time.

It's wild cause 8 and the DS one both sold very well and then 9 had a big decline and each entry started selling less than the previous one so the series wasn't doing that well but since 2018 it's become one of Nintendo's top series.

That's a good estimate, either way it will for sure be close.
