Mario and Rabbids.
I thought it would barely get to a million worldwide but it's looking like a multi million seller.

My sales dissapointment is Fire Emblem Warriors Which we all know flopped.

The one I was expecting to succeed was ARMS which should be a multi million seller and is almost passed 400k in Japan.

In terms of titles announced, none will pass 2 Million. However, Kirby, Mario Tennis, and DK will sell past 1.5 Million. Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2 is harder to determine.
Then again almost every major title for Switch except Fire Emblem Warriors has exceeded expectations so who knows.

I really hope Splatoon ends up being this mega franchise that never dies like Mario or Zelda. It's selling so incredibly well.

It'll sell for years to come. Japan is where it has truly taken off. Hasn't sold bad either in the West. It's more than enough to be a big seller. So glad Nintendo has been able to create IPs that hit millions(ARMS will end over 2 Million)
