I flew too close to the 1TF sun and my Switch wings melted.

Your first paragraph seems to be nothing more than deflection.

You are the one who said Nintendo would be lucky to sell 12 million in a year, not me.

No, I never said that Nintendo would be lucky to sell 12 million a year, I said they'd be happy if the Switch averages 12 million a year. Answer me this, do you honestly think Nintendo expects the Switch to sell more than 15 million a year average for the life of the Switch? Or better yet, how many Switches do you believe Nintendo will sell?

No clue, hard to make a sales prediction when we have no idea what the price will be, how well the marketing is, how well they execute the hybrid concept, what games are at launch and beyond, did they make improvements to their online services & account systems, how is the battery life, is it region free, does it have their own take on achievements, will My Nintendo be improved, will their future mobile titles have a Pokemon Go effect that moves hardware, will their new business ventures like theme park attractions and theatrical releases bring attention to their gaming business, etc?

Way too many variables, I think Switch has potential to surpass sales of 3DS+Wii U with proper execution, however I also believe it has potential to do worse than 3DS+Wii U if they mess up on multiple of the points listed above. It will be much easier to make a prediction after the full reveal.

Just one week left to go!!!!!
