Just commenting to say I'm on a roll right now which is unusual for me in these predictions. Usually I'm alright, but not as close as this year.
I'll make a different post later (not a double post) adding the games I haven't predicted yet.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Mario Tennis Fever reviews should be up tomorrow morning (9am EST) — Last call to update your scores!

Mario Tennis Fever (75 OpenCritic) (77 MetaCritic)

Closest Predictor (±0): @Shikamo.

Nintendo officially enters the OpenCritic Prediction League with their latest entry in the Mario Tennis spinoff series! With 17 reviews in so far, Camelot’s Mario Tennis Fever debuts at a 75 aggregate on OpenCritic— well below the Predict League average of 78.7. This marks Nintendo's most acclaimed Mario sports title in over a decade, dating back to Mario Golf: World Tour (78) on Nintendo 3DS.

Congrats to @Shikamo on having the closest prediction!

OMG that State of Play was awesome today!! I’m adding three new games: Mina the Hollower, Darwin’s Paradox, and Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse.

Anything else I should add? These three are super big announcements for me, hence why I chose them— I’ve literally been waiting with baited breath for info on the former two games, and the third is something that hits right in my sweet spot.

Marathon is coming soon and Marvel Tokon got confirmed for August 6. Silent Hill Townfall is coming this year too.

Edit: also Kena 2.

Beast of Reincarnation - 78
Phantom Blade - 82
Bubsy - 77
Resident Evil - 88

And, imo, let’s not go overboard with the number of games.

I agree. I’ll try to limit myself to 3 games from the SoP today… darn that’s tough. @Kyuu Marathon is releasing must a tad bit too soon, unfortunately, so it’ll have to be cut. And same goes for Darwin’s Paradox… as much as it pains me. (Two months is too short of notice.)

I’ll revisit this next week. No games are confirmed added yet… there’s still also a Nintendo Direct likely coming up very soon.



firebush03 on 13 February 2026

Update— (I’ll tag everyone in the league next week, once we get an update on the Nintendo Direct rumored for next week.) These are the four games to be added:

- Mina the Hollower
- Silent Hill: Townfall
- Kena: Scar of Kosmora
- Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse

Marvel Tokon, unfortunately, just barely missed the cutoff for consideration. UnderwaterFunktown and I agree that the game is just niche enough to be excluded. Marathon and Darwin will also be cut due to releasing so soon— we need to give everyone in the league time to vote for everything.
