A bit under 3m maybe, if we ever get to know because they'll only mention the WiiU version if it beats 1m.

Switch 1.9m
Wii-U 900k

also 2,8M is my guess too

Yes i have to be. Bragging rights bro

Why are people underestimating WiiU version sales so much? It has already 400k pre-orders in US alone.

Then assume 90% sell-through for the game plus a 5% digital ratio (both versions). Assume, as well, that Japan is the bellwether of the world (60% attach rate).  That would translate to at least 1.32 million retail shipments for the Switch version, and an extra 65k or so digital sales.

That is what I'm assuming is the best-case scenario to make you look good. In reality, I see a slightly lower sell-through raio, a higher attach rate, and a slightly lower digital ratio.

Both Switch and Wii U preorders ran out on Amazon.  Interesting, to me at least.

I thought you were going for a crazy digital ratio...

A lot of this will depend on what Switch shipments are. Assuming that the Wall Street Journal was accurate, Nintendo have actually shipped 2.5 million Switch units, then Zelda could be off to a very strong start. I will assume an attach rate of roughly 80%.

So, if Switch shipments hit 2.5 million, Zelda at 2 million on Switch.
If Switch shipments are at 2 million, Zelda at 1.6 million.

The Wii U version is interesting. Sales are at roughly 75k in Japan, and there were reports of 400k pre-orders in the States. European/Australasian shipments of Wii U are roughly 60% of North American shipments, so I'll use that to estimate Wii U shipments to 'Other' territories.

Based on these bits of information, I'd guess Wii U Zelda shipments are around 900k: 500k to the Americas, 300k to Europe and 100k to Japan.

So Zelda will be somewhere in the region of 2.5 to 2.9 million combined, is my guess.

considering a 80% attached rate
1.8 Switch

and 750 Wii U
