What is the timeframe cutoff? 10 years from now?

>45,000,000

I’d say the timeframe cutoff is the end of Switch era (which games will still sell for a bit after the Switch ends production). If we had some confirmation of a new Nintendo system having ToTK, I think 45 would be easily attainable.

One thing people are not taking into account is that this is a very tik tok friendly game which could have a positive effect on sales.

Correct, do not underestimate the power of meme culture.  It has a much bigger social media presence than BotW did, and that says a lot.

I think 15 million at best, because it's late in the Switch's lifecycle and I have a feeling the Switch successor will be out next year.

It's gonna be at 15mil before this quarter ends.

18-21 but only because I think there will be a Switch 2 version that will sell another 20 million lol

Point taken.



Going by the sales of games that have sold as comparably fast on the Switch it's very possible TOTK could be around or past 20m by the end of the quarter.



I plumped for the 27-30 million range. That's on Switch alone, though I fully expect a port to Nintendo's next console at launch - how well that does is really hard to predict so I won't even try xD



If the next gen Switch has backwards compatibility or a "deluxe" version I could def see it going 40m. If not I'd say 25m.



 

I find it funny that over 10% of people have voted 18-21 million or LESS!! haha.

It sold 10 million in three days! Ya gotta figure it probably hit 12m on the second week, and be at 15 million by end of this quarter, certainly 20m by end of the year, and maybe much sooner than that. And that gives it a bunch of months still to sell above 20m before next gen even starts.
