Again, Switch being this close during launch year is just insane when you consider the PS4 will probably never sell much more than this.

If we compare to the two first Christmas periods of the PS4, it was below 800k during the same week and had weeks below 600k during December. 

How do we know switch will sell aswell in year 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 as ps4? It could sell better for year 2, 3 and then not be as good the rest. 

I never specified that. It will probably not have legs as strong but Switch will definetly peak higher once they start getting Pokémon and animal crossing out. Switch will finish around 15 millions first year. It would be incredibly surprising if it can't push 6 millions more with significant stock, real deals and bundles and massive system seller. They won't ship 25-30 millions switchs next FY for nothing, and it will maybe not be the peak of the console. If it follows a handheld trend of sales, it will have good legs with price cut and etc.

 

I also don't see Nintendo dropping the system like the Wii (which was hated abd families played less, there was no point supporting it hardcore.) Assuming people don't get over it, Nintendo having only 1 system, if it sells great, they will make it last the longer time possible cause they won't have a backup if the next system, most likely hybrid, fails.
