Nintendo has slightly missed a great opportunity for switchs second year.

Let's see if they can turn it around otherwise no more than GBA levels - which will prompt them to return to the two systems strategy.

At end second year will be quite stronger than 1st year, its seems that Switch will not sell less than 18m in second year (even 20m is possible).

There is almost no chance they will go ever back to two separate platforms (actually they now have two platforms Switch and mobile), main reason why they went with one unified platform is because they couldn't effectively support any more two different platforms. So going back again to two different platforms after Switch that will be big succes in any case (80m+ LT is almost certain), doesnt make any sense, especially because game development is getting more complexing with bigger development teams how time is passing not less complexing or faster.

Also worth mentioning that games are selling great on Switch, much better than they did on Wii U and 3DS in same time period, so Nintendo already making very healthy profit with Switch despite still don't have big install base.
