What do you mean by this? Even the most negative outlook had Switch more than doubling the sales of Wii U. Unless you're stating that the Switch is well on it's way to 100+ million territory.

The consensus is comfortably below 50m units for the VGC community, so the average outlook isn't much better than doubling Wii U sales. We've also had threads declaring that Switch would do worse than Wii U as well as claims that Switch will be Nintendo's last console. Analysts haven't fared much better. The outlook for Switch has been very pessimistic.

And yes, Switch is going to sell more than 100m units. That's what makes it another Wii. It completely defies the expectations.

But 30m would be more than doubling Wii U. Reading that thread, I don't see how you would use it as a "told you so".

Using it's two month performance to declare 100m is certainly something. Not out of the question, but I don't think it's close to a certainity at all.
