I'd be willing to buy the site from ioi, but it would probably cost too much for me to be able to afford it. 

So he's just an empty carcass clone secretly being controlled by an even better villian?

I meaannn, i kinda too was seeing 2020 being just a little bit up compared to 2019 but seeing how strong the momentum is already with 0 game and having the first full year of the Lite effect + Animal crossing bringing a new audience that the Switch didn't really dabble into much yet is going to be really strong. The Pokemon momentum will continue in 2020 as well since we have major DLC coming which will keep the game in the press the whole year. 

We will definitely see a price cut or a bundled game for 300$ this year with more aggressive deal, there is no way they won't lower the price at this point since yes they could still sell the console but the production cost probably is way lower now. So many people are just waiting for this cut tbh it would have a huge impact. And imo, the lineup this year looks already stronger for the first few months and i'm sure they have big titles for the end of the year. 

Depends on the price cut, the new model and the lineup but 21 million is the floor imo, i'm expecting 23 millions. There is multiple weeks the Switch can catch a big lead over last year and it will do great in the holidays no matter what.

I get the feeling Nintendo are gonna want to hang on to the $300 price point for as long as they can, didn't they say as much in a recent press thingie, or am I misremembering? Something about "increasing value in other ways" or something.

Yeah I mean they could but at the same time they could increase the amount of software sales by lowering the price to attract a bigger audience. We'll see but even if it's doing well I dont think any console kept its launch price for 4 years that would be too much.

PS4 seems to have returned to the slightly-below-200k baseline it held for a lot of last year. Interested to see where Switch and Xbone's baselines settle in the coming weeks.

There's a first time for everything. :p Nobody does stubborn quite like Nintendo haha.

172k is more than slightly bellow 200k.
