lol like when people thought that it won't reach 11 million whithin a year. Than alot of people thought we were crazy.

Than sells 11 million in just 2 mounths and a half. People laugh at this for now.

Its possible, hard to say though, it'll definitely pass 20 million and even likely pass 25 million, passing 30 million is possible as well.

Ask me again in 365 days, and I'll be able to give you a solid answer

Not gonna happen. Wii Fit + might have a shot at it but Mario just doesn't have the same level of mass market appeal. Yes NSMB has mass market appeal just not on the same level as WF especially with the rampant obesity problem we have here in the states. Wii Fit probably would have already done it if Wii Fit + didn't exist.



Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

NSMBW outsold Wii fit+ already. Also mario does have mass appeal. There destroyed your 2 horrible flaws

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind
