Unless Nintendo can find some untapped market like they did with the Wii, then I predict that the Switch will sell even less than the Wii U.
Excluding the Wii outlier, Nintendo home consoles have been declining, even though the video game market has been expand.
NES: 62 Million
SNES: 49 Million
N64: 33 Million
GCN: 22 Million
Wii U: 13 Million
Nintendo home consoles have been following a steady trend, outside of the Wii, that really just got lucky that motion controls were popular for a short period of time (astronomic sales the first 4 years of the Wii, then sales dropped off a cliff). Maybe this "hybrid" approach will be just that. But if people treat it like a normal Nintendo console, then it'll probably fall in line with the rest of the Nintendo consoles.
