I am somewhat pessimistic about the switches long term performance while It has enjoyed a strong launch and first year on the market, aside from the Wii which managed so hook a wide audience even if temporarily, handheld performance has been on the decline and while their approach to try to cater to both the home and handheld market may pay off when all is said and done, I don't think we will see a repeat of the Wii, actually I believe that once the switch hits the other side of 30m we will already be seeing signs of a decline, with lifetime figures likely being below 75m perhaps far below, though right now it's too early to tell and it will be the performance over the next two years that outlines the projected course for the platform.
I think it safe to attribute much of the consoles early success to the release of breath of the wild, too, were it not for that, I don't think anywhere near as many people would have bought the platform and we would only now be seeing an uptake in adoption as a result or titles like Mario Odyssey and the titles currently on the horizon.
