How many can they produce by the end of the year? IMO they need to move 10 million units by the end of 2017 to be successful. Wii U was a PR disaster, and until Switch sales pass the 10 million mark it will have a lot of gamers, and devs being to timid to invest in it. The same thing happened to Dreamcast thanks to Sega's abandonment of the Saturn. Everyone wanted a Dreamcast back in 99, but nobody bought one because they were all skittish from the Sega CD, 32x, and Saturn support.

There's no evidence of strong demand for the Dreamcast, just like there's no evidence that there is widespread hesitation among gamers to buy into Switch. Switch sells too well to assert caution.

You are entitled to have an opinion, but you are better off by not putting the opinions of a few people on gaming forums over sales data when analyzing a situation.

Well we only have sales data for March and April. That's not a big enough sample size to draw rock solid conclusions from. I'll feel better about Switch sales once Nintendo releases their report at the end of July. I'm expecting 5-6 million units sold by then.
