Wii U. Worldwide, that system sold just over 3 million units by the end of 2012

and Wii U came out Nov 18. basically December.

so 3 million in 1 months. Then the wii U went on to being the worst selling console of all time.

So the switch launch numbers dont mean much...because nintendo fans go hard out the gate!

This is wrong. Wii U had sold through only 2m by the end of 2012 and went with no momentum into 2013. On the other hand, Switch has sold through over 2m in a single month and has strong momentum, meaning that it will comfortably clear the 3m mark within three months of availability. The Wii U needed more than eight months to cross the 3m mark.

Switch launch numbers mean enough to write off your lifetime sales prediction of 20m units as plain stupid.

WRONG. Your numbers are way off. Heres 2 articles proving my numbers. and if someone can get the vgchartz from back then it will also prove you wrong.

3.06 milion worldwide by dec 31, 2012. 

 

I remember it well as i am a day 1 wii U buyer! from on here it was the same numbers.

so my prediction is not stupid its spot on. 25 million in 5 years is reasonable for the switch.
