OT: I believe it can go past the 1 million mark, but it depends a lot more on advertisement. I placed 500-750 on the poll, though, which I think is more likely.

I see no way in which that is a reasonable expectation.

 

500K would seem amazing to me.  Put me in the 200-350K column.  It could do better if lucky, but I don't see it higher then 400-450K.


It's already got 100,000 US preorders before the Nintendo Direct hit. It was also before the bundles/free game were announced. Since then the game has been in the gamestop top best seller. 



I love how the closer it gets to launch, the less people say it will do poorly. Pavolink is always one of those though...no stopping that shoot.

Still don't know why or how you, a mod, got modded!

I had the nerve to say that MK8 would fail to sell 350k first week

~~~~ Mario Kart 8 drove far past my expectations! Never again will I doubt the wheels of a Monster Franchise! :0 ~~~~

Mario Kart Wii: 2 million first week on a user base of 25 million @ $49.99.

VGChartz Nintendo fan logic (for some users): Mario Kart 8, 1 million first week on a user base of 6 million @ $59.99 because *insert wrong reason here*

If I was a mod, I would have done the same thing. 



At the moment we have over 100.000 pre-orders and I think till the release it will be increase to 150.000 or 200.000. than the bundles will go out like bread. Maybe 300.000-500.000 unites will be go out in the first weak I think.



Zelda - Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch.... Incredable!!!

It's possible. It'll sell more than 300K in japan alone.

lol, besides for the mockery of wat? 2 or 3 people whats your prediction since your very educated?

Edit: Even though its a lesser argument, MK7 did way over a mil with an 8mil user base. Dont bass this off my prediction, im just telling you since you love to put Nin Fans together :p



It's not completely out of the realms of possibility but I think it's relatively unlikely given the userbase. I think 500-600K should be relatively easily achievable though.

Guaranteed though that there will be any number of threads proclaiming the game as a failure for not selling 1 million in its first week.
