LustSpell Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Bayonetta 3 should be in the bin. Doesn't deserve to be a million seller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indie Go Mind Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Is this measured in units? Like Zelda having 29 Million cartridges of the game sold? If that's so, how was the software measured? 1 Billion games downloaded? Edited May 9, 2023 by Indie Go Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rence Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 - BOTW will reach 30M before the end of the next quarter - Super Mario Odyssey will overtake SwSh soon - Metroid Prime sold 1M in a month despite being a shadow drop remaster FE Engage might overtake XC3 in the long term despite being released only a few months ago… but the Three Houses effect might have worn off cause these sales are definitely frontloaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other consoles have to launch new IPs cause their older ones don’t have the longevity that Nintendo’s IPs do Splatoon is relatively new and Arms despite being forgotten is still a multimillion seller. They do experiment when they want to Also, some of these Ninty franchises innovate their gameplay every once in a while to stay relevant. Pokemon can’t relate though because GameFreak is incompetent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it will have any chance to overtake Zelda Scarlet/Violet will keep selling great specially with the DLC coming out later this year and no other mainline game or big spin off ahead. BOTW will keep selling because it's a cult classic at this point and TOTK will push it a bit more but it will eventually slow down. It's funny how everyone don't really appreciate Scarlet and Violet's success only because it's Pokémon and we're used to it but I've read that it is 5M above what Sword/Shield had sold at this moment. That's HUGE. If it keeps selling as good, it will definitely end around 30M sales. Edited May 9, 2023 by thatsmydemi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsmydemi Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Xenoblade coming for 2M. A shame they did the DLC so wrong with that awful surprise release and the lack of promo. This will barely affect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XC2 benefited from the lack of Switch videogames back in the day + it's had 6 years to reach 2.4m vs XC3 1.8m in less than a year. XC2 also saw a increase in sales after the Smash Bros announcement. Maybe in 3 or 4 years... Although by that time everyone will have moved to Nintendo's next console so the game will barely sell anymore.

It prob would’ve done 1.5M if Nintendo didn’t have a supply shortage and didn’t do that weird marketing strategy for it. But yeah the 1.09M is both physical and digital Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did introduce new successful franchises with Splatoon and Xenoblade. Edited May 9, 2023 by Comedor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
