I was very sceptical about this. But after the announcement of Switch Sports I also think Switch will be the best selling console ever.

No, I meant the people who downvoted you and him. He was at -3 and you were at -5. Not anymore though.

Wow, I didn't see it. Thanks for reporting it.

I don't understand people who downvote an opinion without toxicity or malice, just because they don't agree.... I don't conceive the dislike like this.

That game it's going to be the new evergreen for Nintendo. If they do a big marketing for the game, it will surely pass the 20 million sales

Greenfox sboy11es (on 15 February 2022)

Yeah. I even think it will surpass 30M without any problems.

I think, even though it's a very "casual" game, we were all particularly pleased when it was announced. This game will revitalize NS sales like no other...

Might be several months before clear production patterns start to emerge, but given that PS5 outsold both Xbox and switch in the January NPD to everyone’s surprise, I wonder if there is an under tracking for PlayStation in North America or if that was a one off error based on PS5 having higher than expected supply in the beginning weeks of January

I can’t speak for everyone else, but my predictions have been off in several different directions over the last 2 months
