I see the Switch doing between 25-40 million lifetime. No way will it catch the 3DS. The Switch still has not gotten past the 10ish million hardcore Nintendo fans that will buy anything Nintendo puts out. Once it does it sells are going to taper off quite a bit I believe.

After selling 11 million in 2017 alone, you think Switch will go on to sell between 14 and 29 million over the next six years, or an average of 2 to 5 million per year? How can one browse VGChartz and still know so little about the sales patterns of consoles?

Ok, 1st off it is at 5 million. (Neither of us know how the demand or supply will be for the rest of the year). I said the same thing about the Wii U (which sold less than I predicted....)

 

But I wil say this it WILL NOT go over 40 million for a fact. Rather it ends up closer to 25 or 40 is up for grabs
