Yeah, I found it in the Nintendo forum, but there isn't anything on the home page.



Nintendo with the Switch:

Put me down for 55 mil.
I also believe MK8DX could manage the same and that the two of them will be neck and neck, if MK9 doesn't release until the next sysytem that is.

I voted for the 55-55.9 range, though I imagine it would be closer to 55 than 60. I also think ACNH will not be the best selling Switch game, even if it briefly overtakes MK8 DX soon. I think ACNH could reach 40 million by the end of 2021 (only 2 Nintendo titles hit 40 million on a single system before Switch!).

This will be interesting to look back on this time next year! I find it hard to imagine how ACNH will sell than 8.82 million in 2021 (the exact number needed to reach 40M), coming off of it selling over 30M in 2020 (less than a year on the market). The game will continue to receive updates, which will keep it in the public eye (even if its small updates...to be fair, MK8 DX hasn't had big updates). The pandemic will still impact us going forward this year (although that does have negative impacts, in addition to the positive impacts of being at home).



Around the Network

I think around 41 million. Not really confident with that because it could easily smash that number, but I'll got with it.

Edit: About the bonus question. Yeah, I bought it day one, played it for thirty hours and then sold it. Got enough out of it.

My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first. 

I voted "more than 40 million" the last time, and this time I'll go with 55-59.9 million.

Bonus: no, doesn't look like something I'd have that much fun with.



55-59.9M

50-54-9
