That's a tough one. Around 10 million?



They're supposed to be producing 18 million in first year to the end of March 2018, so I'm going to predict around 13 million sales, with 5 million left as stock.

I'd rather wait until E3 so I can see the Switch's full first year line-up, but at the end of day I think there is one game that will make the biggest difference in the Switch's first year sales.

14 million+ with Pokémon

Around 10 million without



Around the Network

Difficult to say, there is a lot of games coming out especially near the end of 2017. I say 13 million.

Are those first year stats for other consoles the first 12 months for each?

Yes...



9 Million by end of 2017.

10.5m by March 2018.



7-8m. But if they release Pokémon game for it in the near future then it can go up to 15m



 

I'd say 12M without Pokémon, 16M+ with Pokémon (n.b. only if Pokémon comes out this fall/holiday)
