I figure Nintendo has about 20mil maybe less hardcore fans Nintendo consoles sales have slowly been declining each new system hence why I think they decided to combined the market making it handheld, also I think the reason the handhelds sold well was due to price, pokemon and the crazy amount of re-releases and double triple and more dippers and last I don't think the gimmick for the new system is strong enough to capture new audience like Wii. It's all just theory and speculation. Maybe I being too hard lets say it doesn't break 50mil and thats if they stay strong with 1st party.

Okay, these are pretty good reasons and these are also pretty much the reasons why I don't see it doing 100 million. However, 40 million still seems a bit too low. This would mean that it would have sold 1/3 of its lifetime sales in its first year. I don't think this has ever happened to any other console.

I'm not 100% sure but I think Nintendo has huge success on its launch but doesn't stay as strong, I know it's a wild theory but hey I could be right. I changed it to 50mil which gives me a little more wiggle room haha
