I think it was way too early to make that prediction when the OP made this thread and it is still too early to predict now. There are far too many uncertainties to make such bold predictions at this point. I want to see how quickly it can catch up to the GameCube and original Xbox's LTD and then the next milestone would be reaching 30 million (at which point I would say the system has a base that is starting to become viable). The next point beyond that would be 50 million (at which point I would say the installbase is fully viable). The bold predictions like reaching 100 million units can be made depending on if and how quickly the Switch reaches those milestones. Based on the first year alone it is difficult to make such a prediction. After all the 3DS (after price cut) and GBA also had very strong launches but neither went onto sell 100 million, and the DS's launch year was not particularly strong yet it is the second best console with regards to units sold. The key will be for Nintendo to maintain momentum and it remains to be seen whether or not they can do it in 2018.
