@killer7 That generally seems to be the case regarding best sellers. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head outside 2D Mario, Pokemon and DK. Maybe Wario? Should we count Switch Sports VS Wii Sports? I do think Prime 4 will comfortably be the best selling Metroid game. 3-5m seems like a good estimate. Maybe a little bit higher. And definitely even higher than that if it gets a Switch 2 upgrade later down the road. I don't see it being likely for Gen 10 to be crossgen.

For me nearly everything points to a cross release. There's absolutley no way Nintendo will ignore an 155- 160 million+ userbase at the 30. anniversary of Pokémon. Switch won't be killed after its launch. For Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, i only see it higher than 5 million, if it gets a multiplayer, wich could deffinitly happen. But for sure no less than 3 million.

Agreed I could definitely see gen 10 pokemon being cross gen. One final big game for Switch half a year into its post-life phase. In terms of hardware sales, Switch will be dead by then except for a few Lites still being sold to kids or impulse/budget buyers, but tens of millions of people are still gonna be playing their Switch so I could definitely see Nintendo / Game Freak wanting to take advantage of that.

On the other hand I'd like to see Game Freak actually develop the hell out of the next Pokemon and be like hey this game is way too advanced to run on Switch. Also wouldn't mind them moving to a four year release schedule so they have more time with each game which would put it at holiday 2026 release, in which case nah it wouldn't be cross gen.
