your future prediction will look pretty silly though ;) was too bullish when there are no signs of sales exploding.

Sure there are.

1. Has yet to recieve a price cut, $199 in 2019 could be huge.

2. Their biggest IP, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Smash Bros, 2D Mario, have yet to release.

3. Nintendo Labo looks like it could be the next huge kid/family/casual hit.

 

20+ million in 2018 & 2019 each is very possible which would put it around your lifetime number in just 3 years.

199$ is not happening in 2018.

2: there biggest ip's also released last year, in fact mario, zelda, splatton, and mario kart are having insane sales. mario is kicking pokemon ass sales at the moment, those games you listed probably wont come out this year, and if they do i doubt they will even sell better then the games of this year.

3: maybe but we can't know anything till it comes out.

not so great but ps4 still won the holidays, like i predicted which many here said would  be impossible, and switch would dominate.

1. Read better, i said 2019 not 2018.

2. Those IP are bigger than the ones it got this year.

3. True, but initial response is very strong.

thats no true at all, only pokemon is bigger, and its not even bigger then mario kart. 2d mario is all over the places the latest entries are selling on par with 3d mario, and they are giving away for free bundled with wiiu, and 3ds. i don't see the next 2d Mario beating mario odyssey in sales .

Thats a great prediction. People thought it would be another Wii U, and im like "What da". There were sooo many reasons why it would be successful. A march release, Zelda, its also a handheld, 3DS slowing down

And then there is Ryng Tolu who predicted 15 million for the first year in January 2017.

Yes. There are people like you and Tbone who just came from the future.
