Far out that's... bold

Yeah, that's not gonna happen...



We'll see.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Good to aim high I suppose.



If that's the case, Nintendo should really work on those killers apps, and getting a price cut as soon as possible. And also producing enough to avoid hardware droughts, but I fear we'll get those anyway.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Uhhhhhh, yyyeah, I really don't see that happening.



Poor Nintendo! lol Wii levels?!.. This is the final nail in Nintendo's coffin for consoles. It will be handheld only & probably leasing it's 1st party games to Sony, Microsoft, Steam. I grew up with NES! I loved NIN! I had a day 1 NES, SNES, N64, GameCube. Unfortunaley they did not grow with me like PlayStation did so I left Nintendo for good after GameCube & it has only gotten worse since the early 00's. smh



His expectations are too high tbh. I'm hoping for at least half of that.

Jumping to conclusions, don't you think? I doubt it will sell that much, but I'm sure that it will profitable for them.



He just better hope it does better than Wii U. I do not see it coming anywhere near Wii, PS3, PS4 numbers tbh
