@Norion Definitely possible, especially with us getting Mario 2, Sonic 4 and Zelda in less than 2 years from now. I'd imagine there will be even more released before this decade ends too, especially if Zelda is successful.

A big thing will be seeing how many can gross over 500m. So far just mega IPs like Mario and Minecraft are going beyond that though Sonic 3 got really close. When comic book films were really huge something like Guardians of the Galaxy could gross nearly 800m despite the characters being pretty obscure before that so if a well made film based on a video game series the mass public largely doesn't know about does that well then video game films will truly have reached that level. Video games being a relatively new medium also gives some more growth potential down the line since it'll be a while still till a lot of elderly people will have grown up playing them.
