The only thing that could conceivably stop Sun and Moon from being the best selling mainline Pokémon titles since Gold and Silver would be Stars coming along and breaking its legs.
For context, X and Y had sold just over 12 million by this point, and those games have had below-par legs by Pokémon standards.

Even Ed Sheeran can't handle the good shape of Nintendo.

I did my part with WiiU Zelda (double dipped). Still sealed in it's box, never to be opened
Same here. Open yours you cunt. I need to narrow the pool. I bet you want to.
Edit: no offense intended

No. WiiU is just a shitty expensive console that no one really wanted to own. It wasnt going to move tons of units no matter what.
I bought one still

There would have been a small burst of Wii U sales followed by nothing. Zelda would have been hurt more than Wii U would have been helped, IMO.

Same here. It's the Wii U's swan song for me.I did my part
The best game and new blueprint of the series going above 10 million would be amazing.

Uh, what the hell? If you realized your post was offensive, why did you edit in that disclaimer instead of just editing the word out?
No, but it's less than 1 million. They did say it "generated significant buzz."

The 'buzz' being "overpriced" "should have been packin" etc
Must have sold around 600~700k on their 2.7million install base. That's not bad at all tbh. It'll surely get to a million this year.
It's not my type of game, but I can see the appeal for families etc.

Surprised Zelda has sold over 1m on Wii U! The second hand prices have gone a little crazy. Always good to see Kirby selling well, Robobot was spectacular.
It had a 19% attach rate in US, and around 30% in Japan. Even going by the lowest value (19%), 1-2-Switch should have sold at least 520k, possibly quite a bit higher, into your 600k-700k range. It isn't a flop by any measure, though it does kinda feel good that Zelda is killing it much more.

The game is garbage, and Nintendo knows it.
Why would they bundle in garbage with excellence?

Really glad that such a brilliant Zelda game is selling so well.

Team Rocket has always been pretty hardcore
Zelda should make it past the 5 million Mark but 10 million no way
Also while I was searching for a switch in stores I noticed that there are 4 to 5 switch games all in limited quantities except for Zelda botw switch which is like over stocked. Like I saw maybe 40 copies of botw switch on shelf at Walmart Target etc all unsold. Just stacked together.

It have no doubt it will reach 10m. It's evidently an evergreen tittle (on Switch).
Lol it should be beyond 5m at this point already. 10 million won't be a problem with the DLC this holiday.
And that stock would be sold out if there was a corresponding of consoles.

Stock is getting thrashed today, I guess shareholders were expecting more.

I don't fucking get it. Every time Nintendo publishes amazing numbers, the stocks plummet. Every time they announce awesome titles and accessories, the stocks plummet.
They just can't fucking win.
Where can you see this? All stock data I can access end 15 minutes before the earnings release.
nah, it's just the norm. Stock rises on speculation, falls on news.
is this really something you've heard/read?
Pokémon has been going for almost two decades.
Clearly, this means that Mario should get a game with a mecha anime theme too.

NTDOY is U.S. stock, Japan is the real teller because NTDOY lines up with that, but earning report happened after Japan closed and before U.S. opened.
True that.

Wait, BotW has already outsold Skyward Sword?
SS HD Remaster incoming.
SS HD Remaster incoming.
For what benefit? The WiiU was already on its deathbed with no support on the horizon and the Switch already around the corner.

It isn't supposed to be offensive, it's supposed to be good-natured banter. However, i'm aware that doesn't always go over too well in the US, hence the weasly disclaimer

I know Pokemon S&M means Sun & Moon but written out like S&M it can also mean something quite different

good with gravy
Using a word with strong mysoginy associations goes beyond friendly banter. It creates an unwelcoming environment.
