Unlikely as it's connected to Switch sales. And by the time Switch reaches 10 millions unit sold there will probably be another Zelda game and Botw will see very little sales at that point.

No, they're only buying switches because of zelda. I myself did that and now mine's collecting dust until stardew valley releases. The ones who bought the system just for zelda have already bought it now. The people buying the system in the future has more reasons to buy it than just Zelda. Which comes back to the point I was trying to make in my first comment which is it depends if the games in the future are better or good enough to skip Zelda for.
All games being released have games being released after it, you're right but does all of them even have larger sales than the period it released? More often game sell more in the few months after release than the period after it. Unless Zelda gets bundled with the switch in the future, there's zero percent chance of it happening and you can quote me on that.
The counterargument to this is that Zelda, while a highly desirable title, isn't enough on its own for a lot of people to jump in on buying a Switch for yet - once more games come out, they can swoop in and buy the Switch and all the games they wanted for it, including Zelda.
You can't claim that everyone who wants the game has already bought it now. That's foolish.
With the series not being that big in sales and the decline it has had over the years minus TP which was on Wii it will probably only do 4-5 mill LTD
It has the potential, but it might be slow in reaching that goal.
I can see Mario Odyssey selling faster.
Yes.
Question is though; will there be 10 million BotW threads on GAF?
Also, Link Between Worlds is way too low on that chart
If CEMU progresses steadily, then yes.
Euh, only few PS4 games do that number. I think you have a wrong image on what good sales are one a single platform.
(even then I expect the LTD to be higher, but maybe not 10m)
That FF numbers is higher, they sold around 5 million, and more than 80% was on PS4, so around 4 million.To put things in perspective, Uncharted 4 has only done 8.7m so far--and that had readily available bundles already. Horizon has done 2.6m so far, Bloodborne did 2m, and FFXV has done like 2-3m on PS4.
I chuckledYes.

Nintendo already released PR for the Switch launch.I am surprised Nintendo hasn't released any sales numbers about the Switch launch. It has been a month...
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=963700I'm pretty sure tri force heroes sold over a million, no?
1.5-2 million: DONE
3-4 million: Totally, maybe this year
5+ million: in 2-3 years
8+ million: Possible with Nintendo Selects Edition in 2-3 years
10+ million: Possible with Nintendo Selects Edition + Switch (XL/Pro/New Color/Limited Edition) console bundle in 3+ years
Can't we reasonably assume it will get to 5 million fairly soon? Like, it should already be close to if not higher than 3 million, considering 2.5 million Switches sold with a nearly 100% attach rate, as well as a Wii U install base of 13 million.
I guess NPD/Nintendo's FY16 results briefing will be illuminating here, but 5 million LTD within the next 3-4 months seems fairly reasonable to me.
Yes. Everyone getting a switch will be getting Zelda, whether organically with the console or as a bundle when that starts happening.
I can see Switch selling more than 10 million, so Zelda will too.
I doubt it? If Twilight Princess didn't do it on the gigantic Wii launch wave, I don't see BoTW doing it.
Piracy was rampant on Wii though, and botw is in a different league, quality wise.The Twilight Princess / Wii numbers make me think it wont
If Super Mario Odyssey gets delayed out of 2017 and if Super Smash Bros Switch doesn't come out this year, it's possible. Considering the big main stream games for Switch will just consist of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and BotW for Holiday 2017.
Not saying it will cross 10 mil by years end by any means, just saying a large Holiday bump would go along way towards reaching that number.

If we are being realistic (which isn't something Gaf seems to not be able to be), this game will be lucky to hit 7 million talk less of 10 million.
