Is it possible for Clair Obscur to outsell Final Fantasy XVI?

Will it?

It really doesn't need it though. A game selling as much in its second week and even climbing the charts versus its first week (overtaking Oblivion this week), is always the sign of a viral hit. It will do 5m this year and probably 8-10m LT.

For sure it will, they are aligned with Xbox but not bound to them. If Xbox funded them yo get to this quality which I assume they did, they'll want as many sales as possible and that means Switch 2. It's UE5 so scaling it should be no issue. 

Xbox is not the publisher, so we can't say they funded it, even if it is on gamepass. I haven't watched any tech breakdowns because I'm keen just to go into it fresh, so can't comment on the how it fairs and how hard it would be to scale down and maintain its art. UE5 and its core features are also heavy, so as scalable as it is, it doesn't mean it'll be an easy port. And whether the developers would want to port their game down to Switch 2 if it starts compromising their art is another thing... Essentially I don't think its at all a given it will be on Switch 2.
