As much as I strongly dislike the direction Sword/Shield are going, they're going to push a stupid amount of Switches. I think another 15m by the end of the year.

What direction is that? Sorry, I stopped playing that stuff with Pearl.

Anime? Granted, I haven't played Pokémon since Silver but the art style/cuteness/sillyness introduced in later games is a big part of why I struggle to give the series another go (another is the constant hand holding/endless tutorial).

Some of it is of course due to nostalgia but I really do prefer the old art style.

23.8m sales in 2019? Definitely not going to happen.

Shipment forecast is only 18m units this FY, I think they'll beat it but they're not selling-through 23.8m in 2019. Even if demand was high enough to sell that many, Nintendo wouldn't supply enough Switch's to reach it.

I read it as "The Switch will pass the PS4 in 2020". To be clear, what did Kirby's post predict exactly? That in 2020, the Switch will beat the PS4? I don't think that's very surprising, though.

Why isn't there a poll option for 1 billion?

Enough to outsell the XBOne.

Damn, looks like they are pandering to cuteness, sad.

I was going to boycott the game, but then I saw they added a cute crab. goty 2019

10.5M shipped
Similar to last year, but sellthrough will be a lot better this time.
