Just saw a video from Nin10doUltra who does as parody of Switch Haters, and I'm curious now. 

After 5 months of Switch, how many people are still arguing that it's going to fail? Note I mean fail as in sell utter trash, not fail as in not sell Wii numbers. 

If anyone thinks switch will fail I don't know what to say to them.

But I'm told by some here that if it sells what I think it will (45-50m) it will be a failure which makes no sense to me.

It won by like 4-5k right? I doubt anyone is like "how could this possibly happend!"
also it looks like Switch is winning the month in the amazon thread, its going to take August too.

"how many people are still arguing that it's going to fail? Note I mean fail as in sell utter trash, not fail as in not sell Wii numbers."

Pretty sure its going to do like 60m+.
Switch isnt going to fail.

Well, depends on what you consider failure. Personally I dont think its gonna reach 40m units sold lifetime. Some people in this forum would consider that a failure. Not me tho.

I'm not 100% it's a super lot but I think it's because of Switch likely not failing which has got Switch haters even more prone to attacking it at every opportunity. In amongst the youtube comments of blind hate I have seen people still saying it's going to fail.

Probably people from Scandinavia.

No one thinks it's going to sell like utter trash anymore.

Before launch, the people saying it would fail were those who have no understanding of the market, which is a rather large group.

After launch, only people who literally cannot read numbers would think that the Switch would fail, which is a much smaller group. It exists, though, which is how some people can still predict less than 40 million.

It'll be fine. Considering how well it's doing in Japan, it'll be worth it for that alone. The console is page perfect for that market. In the future, it may be the only way to sell a console there, through a hybrid method.

Because Nintendo handhelds have always sold about 70 million, minimum. (The 3DS will get there eventually, in fact, it'll do it before the year is over and could end up at 75 million.)
The Switch is the 3DS' successor, as well as the Wii U's. Thus, it's getting every single bit of 1st party support that would previously be divided across 2 systems.
Thus, going from a combined figure of 75 million (3DS) or 88-90 million (3DS + Wii U) to just 45-50 million, despite getting all the signature Nintendo 1st party support (Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, Metroid, etc.) + decent to great 3rd party support would be a colossal disappointment and failure. That would be Xbox One levels, which the Switch is absolutely demolishing at the moment, launches aligned.

But my Mayain calender says Nintendo will fall 2018

And we all know Mayain calenders are never wrong!
