Haha you'll be wrong again just like how you thought Zelda would score below 90

The reviews are rigged but consumers are not!

Not sure if you know this but your actually downplaying yourself right now. How?

Reviews are rigged right according to you, so why would you make that "zelda will be under a 90 on metacritic" thread?

Oh and when LoZ BotW sells over 4mil before summer ends lets not say that was rigged too

From what I've seen, if you own either console you should own this game... so I'm not sure that 10 million is out of the question. Zelda has never been a launch title before, and I really think it will have about the highest attach rates with the Switch that we've seen from Zelda given the lack of alternatives.

Otherwise, people with Wii U's have been waiting ages for this one. 10 million seems plausible over the coming couple of years, especially as past Zelda's were often hurt by coming out later in their console's lifespans.

If  and it's a real big if, the market demand was still strong, after taking away people like me who bought their Pro controller to have another option rather than any dislike for the official controller and that  demand wasn't being satisfied by selling stand alone pro controllers, Nintendo rather than eliminating the joy cons need simply put a pro controller in the box and sell it at a price point that makes it cheaper than buying each separately.

Hmm, it's not impossible, but I don't think so. I think 7-8 million is a safe bet though, I won't be surprised to find that it may have a 60-75% attach rate on the Switch for the first two months alone. I also think the Switch version will sell the most, by a decent margin.

I so hope it does. Zelda deserved a 10m+ seller generations ago.

Anyway I don't dare to go against you on this, because your predictions are like, always right, no matter how ludicrous they at first seem lol.

I'm 98 % sure it will!

That would be soooo cool! Would be great if it could break the 10m limit, but I'm kinda doubtfull honestly. 8m seems like a sure bet though

the reality is a massive # of people will buy Breath of the Wild when they get the system. So as the userbase grows over the next year or two, so do Breath of the Wild sales.

I think the critical reception of the game has sort of guranteed that Breath of the Wild may have a competitive chance of making it to like 10 million total. Bear in mind of the 13 million Wii U owners, we probably have to imagine at least a couple of million of them are going to pick up Breath of the Wild (and possibly bought a Wii U for that precise purpose originally, Zelda being mega delayed over the years).

We know that of the first batch of Switches (rumored to be like 2 million), the attach rate will probably be like 100% with Zelda. That alone puts like an automatic 4 million.

Lets say the system does so-so in the long run (i think it will do fairly well, but for the sake of argument), like 30 million in the hardware sold department- you have to imagine that Breath of the Wild is going to be one of those must have games for the system, sort of like a Mario Kart regularly, and will be purchased for like 1/4 of every Switch sold in the long run.

I think 10 million is very realistic.

Again, a lot has to do with critical reception. I'm kind of shocked the critics seem to like the game so much, I didn't anticipate it before, with it being such a departure from the past few installments of Zelda. But if most of the critics portray the game as potentially one of the best of all time- that's going to persuade an incrediblie amount of adpopters, and there already were plenty of people swayed before the critical response
