When people make sales predictions that are simply based on what they want a product to sell and act as if their dream was totally based in reality. Sales discussions should be based on evidence and data in my opinion and that's what makes vgchartz so much fun.
Unfortunately, it regularly devolves into senseless hype or fear-mongering. We had threads back in the PS3 days asking if the console would outsell the Gamecube, people calling the PSP a fail, etc. Then things changed next generation and now the Switch was obviously going to sell less than 20m units to some people (because reasons). Also, "the casualz have gone!" and "the Wii was a fad!".
And just for the record: If the Switch sells like mad I fully expect predictions to go full circle (i.e. "Switch 2 will sell 250m units!").
