Just rough numbers, but this sort of thing is fun so I may as well give it a go.

Dragon Quest Builders: (500,000 - 1,500,000 - 3,000,000)
Bayonetta: (280,000 - 1,250,000 - 2,000,000)
Payday: (100,000 - 350,000 - 650,000)
Kirby: (250,000 - 1,400,000 - 2,000,000)
Hyrule Warriors: (300,000 - 1,000,000 - 1,250,000)
DK Tropical Freeze: (350,000 - 2,000,000 - 4,250,000)
Dark Souls: (225,000 - 750,000 - 1,100,000)
Mario Tennis: (225,000 - 1,150,000 - 2,750,000)



I will try

LT numbers:

Dragon Quest Builders: 0.3m
Bayonetta + Bayonetta 2: 0.5m
Payday 2: 0.3m
Kirby: Star Allies: 1.5m
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition : 0.8m
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: 1.2m
DarK Souls Remastered : 0.3m
Mario Tennis Aces: 2m

For FW, only Mario tennis, Kirby and DK re worthy of a FW number.

MT: 0.7m , Kirby, 0.6m and DKTF 0.4m



Im on the phone, so its a harder to make a list like that, but ill leave one observation here:All Nintendo games that are from preexisting franchises are doing better on the Switcg.MUCH better.Just look at Zelda, Mario, Xenoblade, etc.

So I am of the belief that Kirby is also going to do much better than what he uses to do these past years.The last ten years or so mainline Kirby games usually do 300 -400k on Japan?(Correct me if Im wrong).I am a firm believer that Star Allies can sell 1 million units in Japan alone in the first year.Assuming the game dosent suck, of course.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

No idea but rooting for "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze" & "Bayonetta" to do well.
Great games that deserve more sales.

Kinda hopeing Hyrule Warriors & payday 2 crash and burn (same logic as above (imo), just reversed).



My predictions (lifetime only)

DQ Builders: 0.8m
Bayonetta 1+2: 1.2m
Payday 2: 0.2m
Hyrule Warriors: 0.75m
Dark Souls: 0.7m
DKC: Tropical Freeze: 1.5m



Bayonetta 1+2 : 1.2 m LT.
