Prediction: The Switch will become the best selling console yet!

I expected a Tbone thread, now I'm disappointed

Like Nemo pointed out, DS and PS2 had some special ciconstances which helped them boost sales above what they could normally achieve.

However, I think the Switch has some similar chances:

- It's hybrid design makes it possible to play everywhere
- Similar to handhelds, some households will have several units ( though less than a pure handheld device)
- PS4/XBO have probably reached their limit saleswise, and Switch will start stealing players
- Innovative ideas like labo keep the general public and parents interested into the Switch
- Not having 2 dedicated devices means higher output of games
- Unlike almost any Nintendo home console after the SNES, the Switch is getting a large third party library, and unlike the Wii many more "core" games in the third party lineup
- From what we know, down the line, there will be no other choice than the Switch for a handheld gaming device, as Vita and 3DS are slowly getting phased out in the next years.

It might not be enough to reach and beat PS2/DS, but I'm positive it can beat PS1/Wii, my guess is some 120-140M
