| NightlyPoe said: I've been seeing Tomodachi and Luigi's Mansion on a few of these lists, so I'm not picking on you. But I really have to wonder what makes anyone think these games will cross that threshold seeing as neither series has even approached 10 million. Not saying it's impossible, but it strikes me as rather unlikely. 10 million is a rather huge number of games being sold. Granted, the Switch seems to be a software sales beast, particularly for 1st party games, but even top-tier series like Zelda have trouble getting up to those heights. I mean, Luigi's Mansion is an IP that's only had one sequel since it was first released in 2001. If the series had that much juice in it, you'd think it wouldn't take 18 years and 3 console generations for them to finally give us another home console release. As for Tomadachi... I don't get it. |
Tomodachi Life sold 6.3m and appeals to the same crowd who go for games like Animal Crossing while LM2 hit 6m, that's both higher than what a series like Zelda averaged before BOTW hit 10m and that was a game people as well were arguing won't cross 10m because it's a threshold not reached, Switch has a high attach rate for first party software and is helped by a unified userbase, 10m is a large number but then these two games have sold numbers not to far from that so they can't be ignored especially with their popularity.
