I think there's one game people are overlooking: Sonic Forces.

Sonic games typically sell well on Nintendo platforms; Colours, Secret Rings, Black Knight, and Unleashed all passed a million on Wii, while Adventure 2, Heroes, and DX passed a million on Gamecube.

Even if it doesn't get there by the end of Switch's first year, I'd be surprised if Forces doesn't cross the million mark on Switch eventually. (Unless it turns out to be another Boom/06 fiasco)

1- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2- 1-2-Switch
3- Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
4- Minecraft
5- Arms
6- Splatoon 2
7- Mario vs Rabbids (if true)
8- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
9- Super Mario Odyssey

10- Dragon Quest XI

Possible:

1- Snipperclips (over 300k first month)
2- Fire Emblem Warriors
3- Xenoblade Chronicles 2
4- Super Bomberman R
5- Sonic Forces
6- Sonic Mania 
7- Fifa 18

8- Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers

9- Whatever the hell Nintendo announces at E3 (Super Smash Bros. port or many other possible reveals)


So we're definitely looking at more than 10 games for the first year alone.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

I'll just say 8. Why? I don't know, it just looked like a good number. Or maybe because MK8's on my mind?

Super Mario Odyssey - (Most 3D Mario games sell at least 10 million)

Not quite most; 3/6 to date.

Don't be shy. Mario 64 counts twice.

5 or 6. It could be more, but it looks like Zelda, Mario, Mario Kart and Splatoon are going to take the lion's share and leave space for a very few other million sellers this year. I could be wrong, but current sales give me this impression.

My guess is around 6.

BOTW*
Mario Kart 8D*
Splatoon 2
Mario Odyssey
Minecraft
DQXI (if it releases this year on Switch)

* = Already a million seller.

I dont know man, 5 is a bit low imo. But yeah, at thery least 5 possibly a whole lot more.

  • 1-2 Switch are almost there. Pretty sure it will grind itself to 1Million sells. '
  • Zelda: BotW - already confirmed
  • MK8: Confirmed
  • Splatoon 2 - Lock
  • Super Mario - Lock
That is set in stone. Then we have these games that I would give at least a chance to pass 1 million this year
  • Arms - New Nintendo IP, I'm pretty sure this will pass 1 million, would be very surprised if it did not.
  • Skyrim - dedicated fans, playing it on the go? Will get people to dip again. Nintendo is the only platform not yet exposed to Skyrim so there's possibly of a new big userbase here.
  • Minecraft - Well.. it's Minecraft.
  • Super Bomberman R - Halfway there in a month.. Could see it leg it's way to a million
  • Snipperclips - 300k in month one. I'd say it has a chance
And the Sleepers / longshots
  • Fifa 18 - could end up anywhere. Huge IP, once again trying out Nintendo.. 
  • Fire Emblem Warriors. Pretty sure it will leg itself to a million, not sure about year 1 though
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - Will become a million seller at one point.. probably not year 1 though.
  • Yooka Laylee - Just a hunch, it's so Nintendo-esque. 
  • Sonic Forces - Coul be a holiday title.. Always do well on Nintendo systems.
  • <!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}-->Dragon Quest XI - Depending on release date, this will sell a million with ease.. but year 1? if it releases sooner rather than later for sure.
Then we coul possibly or likely see another few first party releases from Nintendo and they are always a threat. I think 8 or so is a realistic goal
