Brave prediction. I think you're wrong but at least you have conviction about it.
Assuming that lower Lite sales correlate with lower engagement by women may not line up with reality, necessarily
We have sales figures, that speak for themselves. You should do a bit of research (don't even have to go far, this thread has the info) because you're coming across as woefully misinformed. The idea that Doom will sell anything like Animal Crossing, is beyond ridiculous. AC in Japan alone will be a close match for Doom Eternal worldwide sales across all platforms.
Animal Crossing is a full game that lasts for years.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is not even half a full release you pay full price for.
City Folk was an upgraded port of Wild World effectively. New Horizons is built from the ground up for the Switch. Animal Crossing has been mostly successful as a handheld game -- it's not a 1:1 comparison to compare an older Wii game to a brand new release on a handheld system. There is no scenario where AC sells less than 12m and it will almost assuredly be in the 15-20m range based on the success of other first party titles for the Switch and the historical success of handheld AC games.
The Switch is a handheld system that can connect to a TV. Just like Pokemon has shown, AC will sell as if it were a handheld game. Any "home console" sales will effectively just be bonus sales
Folks out here acting like the last Animal Crossing sold 12 million in a month. It did it on the widely popular 3ds , over a few years. We get it, the series sells well.
My guess is it's gonna be full of MMO styled fetch quests and a few actually added sequences so a 50 hour game becomes a 150 game in total. So I imagine we get 30 hours of content in "Final Fantasy VII-1"
Aren't there more Switch units out there than there were 3DS consoles at the time?
If I am reading this post correctly, there were something like 30m 3DS sold at the time of the ACNL launch. Switch was at 42m as of the end of September so it should be at a minimum of 50m by the time of the ACNH launch.
I think the first 11 days will see Animal Crossing sell ~4m copies or more. Doom might sell that in its first 3 months.
based on the debut and the legs we've seen in the territories we have data for, LM3.
I can see that, you are probably right. I too think it will be a couple million only in the launch days for Animal Crossing.
The Wii Fit sales didn't seem to help the Wii Animal Crossing game sales though? Not sure how you came to that conclusion.
This is a primary reason the Lite exists. More so than Pokemon IMO. My wife will be getting one and AC when it comes out -- she probably would have been willing to buy a full Switch, but doesn't really see the value in us both having systems that can connect to the TV and it saves $100. It's not at all a hot take to suggest that AC will sell millions of new systems.
Indeed. For many (most?) people, one or other of these games are going to be utterly inconsequential.
That's very possible, especially if there are another set of Pokemon games in 2020
