Excited to read this later when I have a couple hours to spare for the OP.
Not excited that this is 10 reasons rather than 8.

Skip Rol's reasons unless you are clueless about the market in general and can't seem to understand the Switch's success so far. Save your reading enjoyment for the multiple failed posts in the rest of the thread.

Guilty

I also haven't watched much baseball since around 2010

What did Nintendo fans even have to discuss all of last year other than Switch speculation and Zelda hype? Nintendo themselves were practically MIA all year, excepting Pokemon.

Oh yes, that one. I think it's funnier considering my bad prediction was made when I was a 13 year old, but all these terrible posts in this thread are made by grown men who shouldn't be so naïve.

Pretty much the exact period of time I was MIA for, haha. There was just nothing exciting to talk about on the Chartz.

Shame that people got shy after this thread got buried back, you could see a lot of people calling the Switch a failure, yet when it's time to give the sales prediction we don't see many numbers below the 60M.

I was expecting to save many quotes for the future, but I guess people have learned from  the  other's mistakes.
