Agreed. Switch has everything in place for AC to comfortably outsell all of its predecessors.

it doesn't really matter, at the moment AC, and smash are not bigger franchises then 3d mario, and with the way MO is selling, its not looking good for them.

Smash, yes. Animal Crossing, debatable. Sure, Odyssey is an amazing game and i think your prediction for it is totally reasonable. However, what if Switch Animal Crossing and Smash are also amazing games that are the best by far in their series? It's not beyond the realms of possibility that these games too, if good enough can reach these figures. I've already called it. You waaay underestimate the popularity of Animal Crossing. I take it you are the 1 person that voted "None"?

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Mate, you need to let this one go, people on the internet are going to naysay Nintendo, they've been doing so since the internet was invented. I'm fairly sure the first email ever sent included the word "Nintendont"

 

This thread isn't a good idea, just go play some Switch :)

We've already proved to you Smash is a bigger seller. So how can 3D Mario be "Way ahead"?

This thread is a chance for the naysayers to have their say then see how foolish they look.

Mario Odyssey will sell extraordinarily well for a 3D Mario, since it's by far the most ambitious game in the franchise since Mario 64. Whether or not Animal Crossing, Smash and 2D Mario can beat it will depend on how much they change their franchises.

  • Thread Content:
    • Copy-pasting full transcriptions of articles is strictly prohibited. Instead, you may paste specific sections of the article that pertain to the subject of your thread, along with your own commentary related to that article.
    • Likewise, your thread should never only be a link to the story/article/video/etc.  You must include your own commentary.
    • Threads are only "official" if a moderator says so (to get Moderator approval, you must contact a moderator and they must be the one to approve your idea/title for an "Official" thread).
    • If two threads on a topic are created around the same time, the one with the clearest title and most constructive content will remain open, the other will be locked. Even if the latter was created first.
    • Threads should not be aimed at one user (or moderator) in particular, especially not to call them out or insult them. If you want to talk to a user, send them a wall post, or a Private Message.
    • Posts that are clearly a reply or a response to a thread should be just that, a post. Threads should not be a response or a retaliation to another thread. Keep related discussion in the appropriate thread.
    • Moderators may edit the content of your thread (including your thread title) if they deem it necessary to do so. If thread content is edited, please do not remove or change these edits without asking the moderator who issued them (via PM).

Forum rule 3.3.5 suggests this thread is a bad idea though, especially considering you've made it clear your goal here is to make them look bad.
