Well Kirby is already close to the half a million mark in Japan with current sales data, and the rest of the regions should easily make up that other 500k

Bayonetta 2 is a hard case, the sales have been halving week after week according to the data we have. Seems like the sales potential is pretty dead in Japan, and it looks like the US and Europe will have to push for it. A Bayonetta 3 reveal could give it a temporary boost, but we don't know when that is. I'm willing to believe that it can eventually hit a million but I'm not sure if that's possible this year, unless its legs are as good as Skyrim's, since Skyrim didn't do wonders in its FW but it sustained on the chart pretty well.

Hyrule Warriors and DKTF are absolute wildcards. I can see Hyrule Warriors being more popular among the west this time round due to BOTW's popularity which I think will have an influence on anything Zelda related, but I think that goes hand in hand with the fact that there wasn't a new Zelda for the Wii U that gen until the very end so Zelda fans had their fix on that. For the package it's a pretty good deal though, so I hope it can hit 1M this year. As for DKCTF, meh...pretty bad deal and is a more expensive relaunch. It'll probably hit 1M if this is the only DK we'll be seeing in a while.

I'm expecting 500k at least for Crash and Octopath in the first month. Wait, scratch that. July has too many games lol. That's not a good prediction

Generally I'll say at the end of the year there should be at least 10 1M sellers.
Odyssey, MK8D, BOTW, Splatoon 2, ARMS, Mario+Rabbids, Pokken (So far, which is already 7)
+Skyrim, FIFA (doing steady on the charts), Kirby easily, Smash Bros.

Idk about the rest though we need to see gameplay, + there is obviously another big first party title they have releasing in the holiday season. Whether it's Pokemon or AC they will easily pass 1M no question. An interesting discussion would be how any new third party games would do if they are releasing there. Because right now the Switch is looking pretty bad for new third-party AAA games unless it's all to be announced by Nintendo at E3. Hate this tactic though.

WHAT. 1st of all, Pokemon is like what the second highest selling video game franchise of all time! It's been a 30 million+ seller before and that's not even including the 1.5 instalments. Then Smash and Animal Crossing are both 10 million sellers, not a single Zelda or Metroid game has reached those numbers before.

Number of already announced titles that in my opinion will be 1 million sellers by December 31st 2018:

1. Super Mario Odyssey
2. Zelda Breath of the Wild
3. Splatoon 2
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
5. ARMS
6. 1-2-Switch
7. Pokken Tournament DX
8. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
9. Xenoblade Chronicles 2
10. Minecraft
11. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
12. Fifa 18
12. Super Bomberman R
13. Puyo puyo Tetris
14. Kirby Star Allies
15. Snipperclips
16. Rocket League
17. Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Triology
18. Sonic Mania
19. Super Smash Brothers 2018
20. Fire Emblem 2018
21. Yoshi 2018
22. Mario Tennis Aces
23. Octopath Traveller
24. Yokai Watch 4
25. Pokemon Switch (if it releases in 2018)

That may be true. I meant quality wise: Zelda, Mario and Metroid Prime are seminal achievements that leave an imprint in the video games culture. And that's what I meant by "big guns".

But come to think of it, I can see your side of the argument. If Pokemon sells so much more then it would end up influencing hardware sales even more. So in that sense you can legitimately consider that game as a big gun. I'll concede that.

However I was speaking quality wise as Zelda, Metroid Prime and Mario games are seminal games that I could almost say define the very Nintendo brand.

Yes, in most metrics they are considered Nintendo's "Big 3". However, in sales and by extension, ability to move consoles, the other franchises mentioned either exceed those 3 or come very close to doing so.

I don't know how far it's from a million but remember each new FIFA almost cuts entirely the legs of the one before it

You think Poekmon, smash and animal crossing aren't;t big guns? They basically carried the 3ds to what it is today i.e Pokémon and animal crossing. Smash has always increased system sales and sells like crazy. Much more than metronidazole prime or even Zelda. Facts are facts and Polemon crosses Mario or at the very least is the same level, don't even kid yourself. They are as big as guns get my friend

Yeah forgot about Megaman. I think a lot of people will buy it cause even if they don't like the mainline franchise like myself, they still are thirsty for Megaman and if it sells well they can release a new Megaman X a battle netowrkthe entire franchise might restart. I personally want a megaman x9 I've been waiting for that game forever now. I think Megaman will reach a million no problem because of the hype

740k up 3 March according to this site. I think it can make it.

If numbers on this site is remotely to the truth - It's shy than 300k left and that's without digital and with the World Cup coming up and future sales.. I think it will hit 1M before the next Fifa releases. I'm confident it will.

Yeah I hope Mega Man delivers.. it's such a great franchise and it deserves a great comeback =)
