Mario Odyssey being passed by Pokemon Sword Shield makes me sad. Boohooohoooo.
I mean, that's expected of pokemon when a new one comes outIt has the worse legs of any Nintendo game during the Switch era, it has a big enough launch to justify more outsourced remakes but the sales situation rn of the game is horrible
Time for Mario Odyssey 2 to correct this wrong.Mario Odyssey being passed by Pokemon Sword Shield makes me sad. Boohooohoooo.
i think prime 4 will be easy 5 million+ seller2.90 Metroid Dread... what are expecting for prime 4?
3.5 - 4 Million?
5 million if it's as well received as Dread, IMO. Should be at least 3-4 million unless it's another Other M level dud.2.90 Metroid Dread... what are expecting for prime 4?

I still don't see it unless they add some kind of multiplayer or make a more typical fps campaigni think prime 4 will be easy 5 million+ seller
Nintendo will make sure it sells at least 5m, they haven’t spend millions on it just for it to sell 3-4mI still don't see it unless they add some kind of multiplayer or make a more typical fps campaign
What we're seeing on Switch is a lot of these series selling 2-2.5x as much as the previous best. 3D Mario, Smash, Zelda, etc. If Prime's best before was 2.8 million on the GameCube of all things, a solid marketing campaign and a great game could definitely push Prime 4 towards 5 million.I still don't see it unless they add some kind of multiplayer or make a more typical fps campaign
Prime 1 sales numbers are inflated by bundles and 20 year old, I wouldn’t use them to try to predict how much Prime 4 can/can’t sell in the current age. Thankfully we will have Prime 1 HD for thatWhat we're seeing on Switch is a lot of these series selling 2-2.5x as much as the previous best. 3D Mario, Smash, Zelda, etc. If Prime's best before was 2.8 million on the GameCube of all things, a solid marketing campaign and a great game could definitely push Prime 4 towards 5 million.
I'm generally not very bullish on Metroid sales but Prime 4 I think has a good chance to hit that target if everything goes well.
Minecraft has probably sold more than MH:Rise we just lack the data for it. (A lot more in fact btw we are talking about probably 15-20m Switch Minecraft)So MH Rise is the only 3rd party game in the top 15 best sellers on Switch? Perhaps this means that other 3rd parties will be more aggressive with development for the switch successor.
This is only really true of the Evergreens though. There aren’t many IPs outside of Mario, Zelda, Smash, AC, Splatoon and Pokemon that are getting those kinds of boosts. Hell, Ring Fit was the only other first party IP to even hit 4 mil until Clubhouse games did last quarter and Kirby and Switch Sports this quarter (and both IPs are far bigger than Metroid). So while more are hitting those numbers, it’s still a really uncommon thing.What we're seeing on Switch is a lot of these series selling 2-2.5x as much as the previous best. 3D Mario, Smash, Zelda, etc. If Prime's best before was 2.8 million on the GameCube of all things, a solid marketing campaign and a great game could definitely push Prime 4 towards 5 million.

Id say thayts more due to nintendo never updating games that dont sell 1 million within the fiscal year. FE3H for example most likely already crossed 4 million and dread could do so as it had a considerably higher debut than 3hThis is only really true of the Evergreens though.

Nintendo only update titles that ship at least 1 million copies in each reporting period. That, plus the top 10 selling games on Switch.Damn, was hoping to get updated Dread numbers.
I thought it was the ones that have sold over a million in the past year. They gave us Dread numbers after last quarter despite it selling well under a million for that period.Nintendo only update titles that ship at least 1 million copies in each reporting period.

Past fiscal year*, Nintendo fiscal year ends in March and Metroid Dread has not sold 1M during this fiscal yearI thought it was the ones that have sold over a million in the past year. They gave us Dread numbers after last quarter despite it selling well under a million for that period.
If the reporting period is for a full year, like it was last time, they include every million selling title in that year. This reporting period only included April through June 2022.I thought it was the ones that have sold over a million in the past year.

I had a feeling Dread was going to sell crazy numbers, like 10 million lifetime crazy because of the Switch effect. I guess the genre just doesn’t sell those kinds of numbers.Truth is, I am worried at Dread's performance (don't flame I understand it is the best selling game in Metroid series) ,
more because I believe Metroid Prime needs to do at least 7-8 million to be worth the investment Nintendo did and work on the series.
They are really investing into making Metroid a success - both from a quality / marketing standpoint with Dread and Prime 4, at this point Prime 4 has to be a success.
Let's hope similarly to Kirby the "3D effect" together with the "Switch Effect" push the sales to new levels

I think halo isnt an example for anything ince decades ago.I had a feeling Dread was going to sell crazy numbers, like 10 million lifetime crazy because of the Switch effect. I guess the genre just doesn’t sell those kinds of numbers.
It will be very interesting to see if Prime 4 sticks to the trilogy template or goes for a more modern Halo type gameplay loop. I hope the trilogy but I think we all know a Halo type experience would sell far, far better.

Yeah 3+ million is a great achievement. Thanks for the Hollow Knight info too.Hollow Knight was released on XB1+PS4+Switch+PC and it's sold for $15 and have discounts all the time and the word of mouth was nothing but great, yet the last updated sales number was total of 2.8 MM in 2019.
I was overly optimistic that Dread would do 5 MM in a short period lol. Yet, it did 2.9 millions in less than a year and relatively soon to pass the +3 MM although the price tag is $60 and being a console exclusive. I would say this is rather a quite achievement for the given circumstances.
