Xenoblade's sales in the results have pretty much matched Persona 5's retail sales according to this site and could surpass them with the legs it's showing. That's a huge achievement for a series that at one point had to have Gamestop publish it exclusively in NA because NOA didn't want to despite the fact NOE had already localised the game.

That's not to say it will do poorly. 3DS numbers, and probably a little beyond, should be doable (~75M-85M.) Year 3-4 are going to be the telling years. Will legs hold out. Or will it start to drop like the Wii. |
I think it will blow past 3DS numbers. Here are how they compare per region.
Switch
Japan-4.38 million
Americas-7.14 million
Other-6.27 million
Total-17.79 million
3DS
Japan-5.85 million
Americas-5.99 million
Other-5.30 million
Total-17.13 million
Switch is trailing in Japan by just under 1.5 million but is ahead outside of Japan by over 2 million.
Its also worth noting that the early price cut caused 3DS to peak quite early, its first full fiscal year was its peak year. Switch is comfortably ahead in the West at full price and could very well catch up in Japan once the price comes down.
I personally think 100 million is very possible.

Pretty sure we already do, both versions combined are now at ~10 million.

Uh no. The Switch would only have sold more because possibly there would have been more stock by then. Other than that, it would have sold the exact same. Last gen had been going on for 8 years when the PS4 and XBO launched. People were desperate for a new gen. The PS4, like I said, would have sold the exact amount because it sold as much as they manufactured. Doesn't matter when it launched. |
Regardless. November/December it will blow past ps4. And then the ps4 will fly past the switch again. Ot doesn't matter though. The swit h has put up fantastic numbers either way.

You don't manufacture the same amount of units for a month like March as you do for the holidays.
It looks like in few months time Odyssey, will become the best selling 3D Mario game.

Not quite, BotW is now #1 in single platform sales but is still 3rd/4th in overall lifetime sales by my count (though I include remasters in my totals).
Ocarina of Time - 7.6 million on N64 + 5.08 million on 3DS = 12.68
Link to the Past - 4.61m original on SNES + 2.7m on GBA (+ 4 million in SNES classic sales [debatable as to whether these should be included I know]) = 7.31m/(11.31m)
Twilight Princess - 7.18m on Wii + 1.59m on GC + 1.23m on Wii U = 10m
Breath of the Wild - 8.48 NS + 1.5 Wii U = 9.98 m
It'll be third or fourth to reach 10mil, depending on how you look at things, it is easily set to be #1 overall in the series though and has already taken the top spot for single platforms as I stated earlier. Though it should be noted these numbers are largely taken from VGchartz so they may undertrack quite a bit due to digital sales of more recent titles. I'm happy to see the series grow, can't wait for the next one.

It probably already is.

What you cite should worry you!
Switch is a HYBRID console for only 299$, has vastly superior hardware and software at least in graphics as a handheld console compared to 3ds, these are equivalent of 3ds price cut and the sales performance in the west proves it.
Let me ask you, when its price will go down? Its manufacturing cost is 249$ (90$ joycons )...
The solution is a joyconless more portable switch for 199$ because sadly some Japanese don't care that you get a home console and handheld console for just 299$.
The sales difference in Japan will be double soon, ns selling half of what 3ds xl was selling and 3ds xl arrival into comparison is only three months away!
Hence, 3ds price drop isn't the excuse, the excuse is that some Japanese aren't interested in home gaming on tv, ( as they should, due to the enticing combination of switch concept+ price ), so 299$ are too much for them to expend for hndheld console gaming, plus the prices of the games ( home console games prices ).
