The Switch is not another Wii U!

Selling 2x as much wouldn't have been worth it because 1) double Wii U numbers are still very bad and 2) they would have lost billions.

lol, I thought about that, but as a bare minimum it seems a pretty safe bet. The Wii U's problem was that without the gamepad it's still just an Xbox 360 with Nintendo games. Once PS4/XB1 rolled around and third parties started moving on in 2014-2015, Nintendo would still be left supporting the system on their own.

Switch will sell between WiiU and Gamecube without à Price cut thé first year.

And between GameCube and N64 with à Price cut.

À little more liké +30M with an exclusive Pokemon Made for thé Switch using thé Switch powers enough( so no port for 3DS liké Pokémon Star would be )

 

 

Mark m'y words

I think the Switch can reach 60M+ if Nintendo plays their cards right. The question is how they're going to transition 3DS users over to the Switch in the coming years. The added brand awareness from their movie deals, apps and parks should provide a good boost as well.

And lets not forget those "mid-core console skeptics!" I know they're out there somewhere.

It wont happen, if a very popular console already struggle to reach 60M ( and even 50M if It wasnt for new 3DS) , its highly unlikely that à next handheld will when smartphones have éven more ground now than in 2011, especially à handheld console with paid online ! 

 

That plus thé fact it has no real third party support ( much less than WiiU actually) , à lot of Bad press and à Price way too high, it would already bé an Big achievement to pass GameCube in thèse conditions.
