Yea remember the wiiu, now that was comedy gold, see the same thing happening here, now saying the switch will bomb like wiiu, but it wont touch ps4, and japan sales will slow down fast, same with US.

You dont make any sense, this is actually totally opposite to Wii U, for Wii U people were saying that it wouldnt flop and it did flop, for Switch people were saying it want sell good and actual its selling great. Of Course that Switch can't bomb with this sales, Switch will probably one best selling Nintendo console and has chance to outsell even Wii.

I  believe switch will be  a very front loaded product, because of the mobile market. this year is just launched so take into account the wiiu sold the best in it's first year, so combine 3ds and wiiu in it's first year, and you have amazing numbers. then you have nintedo releasing 4 of there biggest franchises in the first year 2 of them the highest rated games of all time, and the third a 94, and then you splatoon which is phenomena. just look at super nes clasiic the thing could probably sell 7 million pretty fast but eventually sells will plummet. 

 

As for the holidays IDC what amazon says, ps4 will win december, and xbone and the x will take november easily, quote me on this.

So many things wrong. Wii U was overshiped in its first year, thats why we even had negative shipments in some territories in some countries, 3DS needed huge price cut in order to start selling, neihter Wii U (it actualy had stock probles for around 2 weeks) and 3DS didnt had any stock problems. And than you have Switch that selling out of gate great, and until recently had huge stock problems and still have them in Japan. You dont have reason to believe that Switch sales will plummet, Nintendo will easily continue Switch sales momentum with big and strong games whitiotu and software drouthgs unlikly 3DS and espacily Wii U.

We will see about holiday season, this will be Switches first holiday season and Nintendo consoles/handheld always have biggest speak in sales during holiday season compared to competition.

your not taking into account that this is nintendo next console and handheld, with there best first year launch line up ever. of course its gonna start strong. by next next year if it keeps beating ps4 in npd, then ill be convinced, hell i wanna see how it does  for this for the holidays first. i just believe it too early to tell, especially with out strong the mobile market is.

3DS will sell at end around 75-80m despite strong mobile market, and Switch has much stronger appealing on market (its home console and handled in same time), its much more interesting hardware in any case, and it will have bigger number of system seller games (Switch will have handheld and home console IPs). So Switch will probably sell more than 3DS at end.

Talking about mobile market, actually Switch can't attract part of mobile players, because like hybrid its bridge between mobile gaming and home console gaming.

OMG the stupid holiday excuse ps4 was sold within 24 hours in north america, the holiday didnt help it, because it had no stock. just like the wii, just like the 360. people forget that these consoles with out the holidays would sell 1.5 million in 2 months just based on launch demand.  example if super nes classic launched during the holidays, it would have made 0 difference, because it sold out right away.

Holiday season it's not excuse it's a fact, in those two months consoles usually sell more than in two quarters. PS4 launched right before Holiday season, so of course that lotsa people used their Holiday season money to purchase PS4. Point is that Switch was launched in Holiday season, Nintendo wouldn't prepared only 2m consoles for launch like they prepared it for Switch launch in March, they would prepared it at least around 4m, and you cant bet that PS4 wouldnt have same sales in March like they had in November and December.

You clearly missing point, NPD list includes combined sales from all platform versions of same game, so that means that in sales of Call Of Duty are included sales of PS4 version of game, XB1 version of game and PC version of game. While on Amazon you have list of best selling games for single platform, for instance just sales of PS4 version of CoD game, not combined sales for PS4, XB1 and PC version of game.

So explain to us how did PS4 benefited from launching in the holiday... when they had stock issue for all weeks after launch, had to ship by aircraft to have some stock for christmas (which put stock issues in january and february). PS4 would have sold about the same if it was launched in March and Switch would have sold the same if it had launched in the holidays.

But I'm sure you'll come with "reasons" and "explanations" why it would be different, and claim that since the past won't change no one can show that it wouldn't happen.
