Dang, that's quite a jump from the original planned 10 mil. I wonder if they can really sell 18 mil in its 1st year.

from what i understand produced and shipped are not the same thing so if they produce 18m than shipments will be lower, maybe 14-16m?

I see, 14-16 mil would still be pretty great from 10 mil.

I still think that nintendo will release a HH only sku in 2 years. ($199 price point) so i can see that.

Why HH only? It would be expensive to prove a connection from it to the TV. 

A Switch that can't Switch. You also lose portable local multiplayer. I don't see it happening. Smaller model maybe but not HH only.

Yeah but what are you going to call it? A Stuck?

Ignoring the name, lack of TV out and portable multiplayer, 12Switch wouldn't be playable on it. Who'd want a Switch Stuck without being able to play 12S?

This probably means the thing will outsell the WiiU lifetime before may 2018.



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

They will release a dockless Switch right after they release a GamePad-less Wii U.



8 million of those probably in March 2018 to keep the shortages running.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Nintendo is in a beyond prime position. In the grand scheme of things no one really played the Wii U. The Wii U has at least a dozen system sellers that rank as some of the best critical reviewed games of the generation but still plenty of question marks. Nintendo could simply release super Mario 3D land, Mario Marker, Bayonetta 1/2, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Super Smash Brothers, Super Mario Bro Wii U (with all the DLC) and each of those would sell at the very least 2-3 million units without much effort.

While they rerelease those titles they can sit back, polish games that were developed direct for the switch and ride the second and third wave of it's life on easy Street while still release games that everyone considers system sellers.

 

It can continue demand like this for the next 12 months without hassle, all while releasing Wii U games. 18 million units sold by March 2018? If they show Pokemon this E3 for the Switch you can damn near add a zero to the end of their estimate and that would still be within the realm of possibility.
