Stupid prediction. Once again Nintendo is being underestimated.

Nintendo is going to destroy the current paradigm. Nintendo is the one who everyone is looking at to rejuvenate the gaming insdustry.

Nobody expects Sony to do anything noteworthy because they're shit.

The gaming industry belongs to Nintendo plus the cream of 3rd parties. Sony's days are numbered.

The gaming industry is as popular as it currently is because of Sony. Its the worlds most trusted brand for offerings from all parties. Also, if it hasnt been evident this gen (or even this year), Sony and Nintendo are the last brands that truly hold up the standard for quality single player games. They do it in their own way and that makes them special.

I never understood the Nintendo versus Sony arguments.  They offer drastically different products and experiences and I love owning both.

I need to revise my number however, as the initial 60 mil is too easy.  I will say 100 mil or more and leave it at that.  I feel a BC Switch 2 will release in 2022 earliest and 2023 latest, which will slow sales after that point. 

In the end you will still be wrong. The Switch will outsell the PS4.

That depends on when ghe Switch 2 drops TBH and how well the Switch sells after that.  I will say that out of all things I could be wrong about, I always thought that would be the most likely.  Still too many variables and grass to cover before truly knowing it it will pass PS4 or not.

One thing I was definitely way off on was the initial 60 mil prediction.  I own being completely wrong about that, hence my revision to the number.

Your previous revision in this thread was 80-90m lifetime. That was almost two years ago.

So now only 10m more despite two years more of sales data. Weak.

Well that goes along with a BC Switch 2 in 2022 or 2023 being the reason sales slow.  That in itself makes it a bit more bolder than just adding 10-20 mil to my previous prediction. 😉

Me neither. One is a copycat, while the other (Nintendo) is an innovator.



Wow, yeah sounds about right. I think it'll top out at 80-95M. Not quite PS4 levels because the 3rd party support simply isn't there and the casual market, while present, isn't the force it once was.

And yikes, can we stop the "industry is where it is because of X" and Copycat stuff. This industry stands on the shoulders of giants, quit the silly fanboy talk.

Went to the market today and they were all out of crow meat. Now I understand why.



Welp, some posts here didn't age well



I originally predicted somewhere between the 80-100 million range before the Switch came out. Now, I think it's going to do 100 million at minimum.
I think it's going to pass the PS1 and may have a shot at the Game Boy depending on its legs after its successor launches. So, my new prediction is somewhere between 105-120 million.
