I mostly agree with you, because Splatoon 3 is seen as an improvement over Splatoon 2.  Scarlet/Violet will also very likely be seen as an improvement over Sw/Sh and will stimulate a lot of Switch hardware sales.

However, I don't think TotK will have the same story.  BotW is already an amazing game, and TotK looks like a downgrade based on what we've seen so far.  I think it will likely do well on the opening week, but over the long haul it will have poor legs and the legs of BotW will keep going.

Nah, you have to see what Nintendo is doing with TotK first. And that is being a secret. You can't take the 3 trailers at face when its obvious (at least to me), they are hiding the game and what is really is about. What they shown off is absolutely nothing. Wait until they ramp it up come 2023.

That said, botw even more so was bought by the earliest adapters. Also I'm predicting ToTK to do near 5mil lifetime in japan

Well you are predicting 5m in Japan, and you've seen very little as well.

However, with BotW they weren't hiding anything.  They showed hours of gameplay footage at E3 2016.  Also, this game's title is not remotely linked to BotW's title.  A casual player would not know this is a sequel to BotW.

Pretty sure it will be advertised as such when the marketing really kicks in and if Nintendo does it in the right places they will also get the message across.

Same could be said with pokemon SuMo to Pokemon SwSh or PLA. Sun/Moon basically went all out with info and swsh was half that and PLA was even more hidden.

TotK tou can tell they want to keep 99% of the game hidden. BotW had to be a proven game and was in a very different era in comparison to that of TotK. So it's not the same imo.

Media Create sales data. I believe they are more trustworthy than Famitsu.
These numbers include what is Famitsu's week 40.

Splatoon 3's number suggests that digital is even higher than we thought since Media Create's number is lower than where Famitsu's should be now. With Famitsu's first week number it would have been 43% digital. Looks like it's even higher.

That's what I've been saying. I mean they're both made by the same studio so it doesn't sound too impossible.

Well you are predicting 5m in Japan, and you've seen very little as well.

However, with BotW they weren't hiding anything.  They showed hours of gameplay footage at E3 2016.  Also, this game's title is not remotely linked to BotW's title.  A casual player would not know this is a sequel to BotW.

I have to disagree with you here because BotW and TotK are different cases. Former is coming from a desperate position, whereas the latter isn't. TotK has more time and composure to take it slow, whereas BotW was needed to please investors, creating hype for promising hardware launch, etc. BotW is a complete new entry for Zelda, TotK is a sequel to BotW. We didn't know anything about BotW whereas we know a general gist of things for TotK. Plus like u said, we've seen lots more for BotW at this stage, whereas we've seen particularly nothing for TotK other than some short teasers. My expectations aren't too high yet from those teasers, but you can't really judge without seeing a proper trailer or playing the actual game. Remember the 2017 BotW trailer that they uploaded 2 months before the release was what sparked a lot of hype. Right now we only have information close to what we got from the 2014 BotW trailer for TotK.

However, I don't think TotK is selling 5 million in Japan. I could be wrong as BotW has been awarded the best game in history in Japan, but Zelda is a pretty niche title there. It's hard to believe it selling more than Pokemon for example.

I thought Media Create had stopped posting numbers and this was the reason everyone switch to Famitsu. Are they posting numbers again or is this a one-off thing?

Nintendo uses Media Create data. That 3.45mil sellthrough number is based on Media Create.

Media Create has always been considered to be more reliable in the past. Sadly in recent years they've only published their numbers through their yearly White Book and no weekly numbers. But thanks to Nintendo Dream we are now getting monthly numbers.

Currently Media Create has the Switch at 300k lower than Famitsu, which is an unusually big discrepancy.
