It will sell more than Wii U but less than Samsung Galaxy

The sooner they officially kill the 3ds the more chance this has.

But its looking 3ds has a couple more years of life, and ninty is pushing this as consoles that can be portable then an official 3ds successor.

20m will be tough.

Probably. I'm predicting 25m.

Yes! Because its a handheld!

my opinion is they will sell proportional to when they take 3ds off the market, if they dont then you may end up being right, if they do, the handheld aspect of the switch takes priority and it would sell much more.

a cheaper sku with the tablet and joycons only, aimed at portable-only gamers would work too

It's a hybrid of 3ds and wiiu pretty much so I can see it selling 270 million units

A Nintendo handheld will sell plenty, in particular when lowered to 199$ for a starter set.

this is just getting ridiculous with the doomsday threads.

You 'think' and have a prediction regarding the sales EACH year for the next like 4 years of a system that hasn't been released? that's just ridiculously stupid. It really is. It'd be like taking your avatar and saying "I think Donald Trump will do this well in his first year of Presidency, that well in his second, badly in his third, etc.". 

Like you do realize that you have literally nothing to base any predictions on at this point? A) the Switch is nothing like the Wii U, its partially portable, and B) we have literally ZERO numbers so far regarding how it will potentially sell except for positive presale numbers (which, again, is useless as that generally happens with new game systems).

Just shut up guys with these ridiculous threads. Maybe after the Switch has been out a few months or even a YEAR then it will make sense to start predicting this down to every season. For gods sake if you had done a similar thing when the 3DS came out you might be saying the same thing (since it started out poorly). Calm down

Easily passing GC number and very likely N64 numbers, that's all I can predict for now. :)

omg. I just saw noticed your bottom comments. you have to be a troll. to suggest that the Xbox One will make anywhere near 90 million sales is absolutely insane based on its trajectory and how poorly its exclusives have been doing. If it were the dominant player in the market maybe, like if it were at least doing Xbox 360 numbers proportionately (against the competition), but its not even close. going into year 4 of the console (granted early on) and the system has considerably less  than like 1/3 of where the Xbox 360 ended in hardware sales

the PS4 getting to 150 million is just dumb too, have you actually looked at any numbers of how the PS2 performed its entire lifetime? it maintained INSANELY good sales for basically a whole DECADE, there is no chance on Earth that the PS4 will come close to that. In fact based on how the numbers are forming, the PS4 will probably be considerably behind in 2 years where the Wii was at that point. Granted, the Wii plummetted after that point, but what I'm saying is if the PS4 is struggling to catch the Wii at like year 6, and realistically a Playstation sequel console will come out in like 2020, there is absolutely no way it will come close to the PS2

the PS4 would have to maintain the same sales it has been doing for like 5+ straight years going forward (no joke, as its currently at a little more than 1/3 of the PS2's total number in hardware sales).

Can't tell if people like the OP are just trolls or spitting out anything that pops in their brain until something sticks. Either way, lame.
