Trying to downplay someone elses opinion without counter argumenting, on the other hand, needs nothing more than ignorance! XD |
Here, if you didn't read your own thread, page 7...

Why stop at 1? More than 7 billions humans on the planet, so 7 billions is the minimum! We know most of us will buy several consoles...
Realistically speaking, we don't know enough about it to really predict the sales. 100M is almost impossible though. Depending on the details (price, power, battery...), it could be from 20m to 50m IMO. Don't forget that when it'll get to 10 or 20M, 100M people will already own a PS4 or Xbox One. The market doesn't have an infinite number of buyers (the total number of buyers on this gen will most likely be between 150 and 200M, depending on the Switch's success). Let's not forget the really bad release timing either, in March between the PS4 Pro Christmas and the Xbox Scorpio Chrismas (3 months only before the Scorpio E3). The audience able to increase the Switch's sales is the 3DS audience. As long as the 3DS is alive, the Switch's sales won't be that great. And when the 3DS will die, if they don't release the 3DS2, they'll still need to attract the audience to the Switch instead of the other mobiles/tablets. We're still not sure about the future of handheld Nintendo consoles, they're not clear about it (and the 3DS is their backup plan for now, so they won't be clear about it for a while). I think that a lot of 3DS players won't buy a Switch, like a lot of DS players didn't buy a 3DS... |
More numbers than in your 3 pages long OP... I gave other arguments in others of the 485356 "The NX is perfect" threads if you want, but hey, we both know that the arguments "against" the Switch's success are ignored by a lot of people because they're written by "mean users", "Nintendo haters" and ignorant people. It's so much smarter to say that "it will sell 100M because mobile games, movies, theme parks and greatest line up ever".
