I know that i'm saying this for every games on Switch, and EVERY single time i heard the same thing: "just because most games saw a growth doesn't mean even this game will"
I predicted 6 months ago that Smash Ultimate would have sold
over 25 million lifetime, a prediction that right now seem the most realistic one, yet you can read in the comments how most people said it was too much because Brawl and Smash 4 didn't reach 15 million.
What's fun is that most comments are saying the same thing you are saying about Fire Emblem.
"It's not Mario kart, is a fighting game, limited audience, for a game like that even 20 million would be insane". And now we are there.
And i had this deja vu way too many times, same thing happen to Mario Odyssey as well, i remember that.
I swear, every times i predict a big growth for a game on Switch, saying that "i mean the trend is that series on Switch have a growth so is reasonable to expect another growth even this time", people keep inventing "reasons" why this time for that particular game it would be different...
And guess what, in the end i'm always right and the growth is massive. Like, at this point it should not even be a "phenomenal prediction" an user like me does, this should be the norm, yet every single times people are like "OMG look at the sales compared to previus games, who would have thought!", and i'm like "...ok..."
So, back to Fire emblem..... Predicting a growth for the game should be the norm at this point. And is unrealistic to predict the opposite. And no, doesn't matter if it's an jrpg. Final Fantasy is a jrpg and it sold 10 million units.
