Forums - Nintendo - Your lifetime sales predictions for holiday switch releases.

This holiday the nintendo switch has quite a few games coming out in fact i cant remember a time when a nintendo console has had such an abundance of high quality games coming out within a month or two of each other. Here's my lifetime predictions:

Super Mario Odyssey - 13 to 14 million : It's going to be the highest selling 3d mario ever beating out 64 and galaxy 1 that just fell short of 12 million. There is a buzz surrounding this game and i can't see the game or game sales being anything less than stellar.

Sonic forces - 600k : I'm not sure about this game, i have a feeling it might be a dissapointment. Sonic however does quite well on nintendo systems even bad sonic games have done alright on nintendo systems. If it gets good reviews it could do a million but i have an incling that it will be a very mediocre game and plus there so much competition this november.

Doom - 1.2 million : The portable factor could make this a success and there being very few gruesome shooters on switch. 

LA Noire - 300k : Great game but it will get lost amongst other more famous titles. It deserves to do well but being 6 years old will count against it, i know Skyrim is just as old but skyrim is iconic and LA Noire isn't.

Skyrim - l.5 to 2 million : Of all the 3rd party games coming out this holiday Skyrim has the best chance of being a hit. Again being portable will attract a lot of people.

Xenoblade chronicles 2 - 900k : the two previous xenoblade games have fallen just shy of one million and i can see that trend continuing. It will be a decent game but niche JRPG's will never have blockbuster sales.



Around the Network

Sonic and the Black Knight sold 1.1 million on Wii, and Sonic and the Secret Rings sold 2.74 million.

Yeah....

Sonic Forces will definitely do above 1 million lifetime.

I think doom will do better than sonic forces, There is zero hype surrounding forces.

Sonic Forces has the benefit of coming right after Sonic Mania, which a lot of people actually liked, so I can see SF breaking 1.5 million. L.A. Noire probably won't do amazing on any platform. Skyrim, Doom, and Xenoblade will probably do about a million. As for Mario Odyssey, the sky's the limit. That might do 15 million considering all the hype.
