People saying it will sell sub 50 million is pretty laughable. 10 million in 9 months and that's without their highest selling franchises like Smash, Pokemon, and a new Mario Kart. The Switch has decent 3rd party support early and more devs jumping on board. They made good hardware this round with excellent marketing. The ads are Sonyesqe. I don't think it will do Wii or DS numbers but it can do 3DS at worst numbers. 2018 3rd parties are filling some gaps, normally that type of thing is reserved for Sony consoles or Nintendo handhelds. Since Switch both, it's doing well there. Saying 50 or less honestly sounds moronic and what I remember people saying within Wii's first year.

Smash was on Wii U and also Mario Kart and we saw how much it helped the wii u. lol And the switch already has 5 of they're biggest franchises in its first 9 months, and even if its bought more as an handheld than a console ( because we all know its just a shitty console specs wise ) it didnt manage to sell the 10 millions faster than the ps4 without any real big or good games. 50 Millions isnt a given, and all are saying this are laughable and overstimate the franchises nintendo has. And tell me again about that 3rd party support, almost every new game that get announced lately doesnt come to the switch, just old ports in they're worst form lol.

We should not forget that Nintendo is very greedy, so switch sales alone wont satisfied them for long, and when they announce a new handheld device ( maybe with switch games working ) the Switch will be dead sooner than later

Smash and Mario Kart had insane attach rates. Smash sold 7 million and Mario Kart 8 million on a system with 13 million sold. Now on Wii a system that sold 100 million. Mario Kart sold 36 million. Mario Kart on 3DS has sold over 16 million. On DS MK sold over 23 million. Smash was the best selling game on Gamecube. Wii U failed for other reasons but these games were a massive success no matter the context  and you'd be wrong to try and dispute it. Your last statement is outright egregious and flat out stupid. Also when you say a plural in million it's just million,there is no S. Most of your post is assumptions with no basis. Please learn to be informed and how to properly structure a post.
