Nintendo is committing a lot of the same lethal mistakes they did with the WiiU, and more.

Actualy Nintendo several times said they aiming Switch to be accept wide market (that why you have games like Zelda, Metroid, Doom...but also Kirby, Mario Party, Labo..), they even said they want Switch to be one device per person instead one device per house but also that with current price point that still isnt possible. Switch is not selling even now because its modern, it selling because great concept, games and marketing, and Switch will have all those things even after PS5/XB2 are out with difrence that Switch will than have much more affordable price point for mass market, probably around $200. Offcourse you are sure that Switch will pass 50m when at end of this year Switch will pass 30m and thats less than 2 years on market. :D With sales like this Switch will probably be around 50m with around 3 years on market.

It's at 18.2m here on VGC. You really think it will sell 12m till the end of the year? I think you are being a bit optimistic.

He's not being that optimistic to be honest. Last year, Switch shipped almost 8m from October to December with Odyssey and Xenoblade 2, while this year they'll have Pokémon and Smash. And since we still have 6 months worth of data to go this year, it wouldn't be surprising to see Switch selling 12m+. I mean, most here expect it to ship something around 10m on the holiday quarter alone. Nintendo themselves expect 20m for the FY which ends when the system turns 2, on March 2019.
