I used to think that 80m was the Switch's minimum for its lifetime (3DS+WiiU+Vita) but I feel like raising that to 100m. With the momentum it has now, 80m would feel like Nintendo dropped the ball.

Everybody has a different criterion of "success" ...

Yes, but the only one that matters are Nintendo's expectations for it.

Expectations =/= Success
If they don't meet expectations and the system still manages to turn high profits they could still consider it a success ...

OK, then we can say that only Nintendo's perception of what is a success matters.

I see the market as shrinking for the big three. just look at the handheld market 230 milliom with psp and ds to 85 million with with vita, and 3DS. look at how bad xbone and wiiu did compared to there predecessor. switch will start off strong , but it will slow down next year hard, i also expect ps5 and the nextxbox to struggle, especially the nextbox,probably there last console. |
Xbox one is only slightly behind 360 in the same point of their lifetimes.
Also, I have a question: are you a PC gamer?
Bet with Intrinsic:
The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
