Your sales expectation for first Party Nintendo games that were announced during the recent Nintendo Direct (Metroid Prime 4 was previously announced but i'm including it because it was it's first reveal). These are Mario and Luigi: Brothership, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Super Mario Party: Jamboree, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. For Metroid Prime 4 your expectations are for the Switch version and potential Switch 2 version combined.
Mario & Luigi Brothership: 3 million - No "Switch effect" here but should still sell decent.
DKC returns HD: 4.5 million - Likely another full price remaster but i still expect it to sell close to the Switch version of DCK:TF.
Super Mario Party Jamboree: 12 to 15 million - Sequel to a juggernaut so should blast past the 10 million mark.
LOZ: Echoes of Wisdom: 7.5 million - A brand new game so i expect it to do a little better than LA despite being a late gen release.
Metroid Prime 4 Beyond: 4 million - Surely with all the hype it will outsell Metroid Dread.
Series sales performance for reference, Nintendo only reveals sales data for software that sells 1 million units or more
