Master analyst, Michael Pachter, predicts that Switch will not sell near Wii.

The Switch is currently doing well, but I know everyone is interested in how it will do in the long run.

My estimate was pretty conservative since the NX hybrid-rumour days. I had 50 million as worst case scenario and 80 million as best case scenario. How the Switch does in the end will be neat to see.

This is almost exactly where I stand, if Nintendo sticks to a 5 year lifespan and moves on afterwards - though like I said in my previous post, a redesign or two and a deticated effort be Nintendo to support the console for an additional 3-5 years, and we could be seeing greater numbers even than that.

Probably; I just felt like having a pessimistic goal this time. I had 50 million for the Wii U, and I was sure Nintendo would rebound from their mistakes. 

 

OT- With pachter's predictions, the Switch will move on to sell 1 billion units by 2018.
