Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a chance of reaching 3 million and Xenoblade Chronicles DE will definately reach 2 million. Metroid Dread did pass 3 million but won't do much more.

Astral Chain only moving 1.3 million is a crime against humanity, given how fucking good that game is. Platinum at its peak in terms of engaging and innovative gameplay, with a fun and wacky story. Had so much fun with it. I wonder if Nintendo feels inclined to give it another go, maybe a sequel for Switch 2. Would be so awesome 😎

FE 3H passed 4 million

Metroid Dread finally passed 3 million 👍

Bayonetta 1/2 sold almost 200k since it broke a million not bad, i wish it was more but at least its selling,apparently more units than SMT 5

It deserved a lot more than 1.33 million, that's for sure.

Its a real gem

i think its very possible,1.3M doesn't sound like much these days but it surpassed Nintendo's expectations,and it got very high review scores ,for comparison Nintendo was willing to greenlight Xenoblade and Bayonetta sequels,and they didn't even broke a million in 3 entries, when they want a new brand they show how its done

Seeing low sales of those, saddens me that we may not get sequels. :messenger_face_screaming::messenger_loudly_crying::lollipop_sad_relieved:

I think with Origins we may not but with Nintendo who know Bayo and Astral Chain we definitely will. They sold more done a million.
I hope Nintendo does keep this strategy to diversify their lineup. Especially more teen to mature titles.

Links Awakening is at almost 6.5 million.
Why aren't we getting more 2D Zelda? At $60 and with the production values of an indie game it must have been quite profitable.

Most likely next Zelda will be 2D releasing between each 3D Zelda. It's been like that, sometimes 1-2 games before 3D mainline Zelda releases.

Edit: We had Link Between Worlds before BotW.
