Any bet on BOTW crossing the 10m mark on Switch alone at this point? It was 9.3m at the end of the first quarter.

I would assume 10 million is inevitable given the Switch's lifespan. The only question is 'when' not 'if'.

It's official now BOTW has crossed 10m on Switch alone, with Wii U numbers which were last estimated to be about 1.7m it it's total is around 12m.

It's on its way to outsell Ocarina with all versions included.

Sold 960,000 copies on Switch in the latest quarter. What were the last official figures for the Wii U version? I remember seeing 1.5 million at some point.

It's going to be interesting to see how BotW and the other evergreen Switch titles (Kart, Odyssey, Splatoon 2) sell over the Christmas quarter - how many new Switch owners will pick them up? Is the ongoing attach rate going to stay the same in this Christmas quarter? For example, if Nintendo shifted 9 million Switch units, you could expect around 30% to pick Zelda up if that attach rate stays the same as the last few quarters - so that would be another 2.7 million copies sold.

Adding the Japanese sales number that we know of to VGC's numbers (VGC were like 300-400k behind or so) we get a figure of about 1.7m but that's with out any update to western numbers and digital so it could be passed 2m on Wii U at this point for all we know.

A single Zelda SKU has reached 10m... After all these decades and amazing games. If there ever was a series that finally deserved to get there, it was Zelda. I’m so happy right now.

I'm beginning to think that 20 million may be possible for Breath of the Wild.
