Seems a bit pessimistic...

Should change his name to TrollStoppable

Not totally inappropriate: whenever I read one of Rol's posts, I always feel hints of sarcasm... Don't know why.

I just want the Switch to do well. If it's possible, I hope it can get into the Top 10 Best Selling Consoles of All Time, because it's a really good system. I don't think it'll break past the Wii in sales, or maybe even the NES, but hopefully it'll pass the Genesis after a few years.

Doesn't look like Switch has a chance to accomplish those things, aside from passing the Genesis in the distant future. Switch is already losing momentum (finished in third place in February NPD) and 2018's lineup is dominated by ports. The fact that Nintendo's biggest Switch game of the year is a port of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U doesn't help matters either.

Switch sales will remain decent for a while because the big releases of 2017 are still selling, but that can only last for so long. I feel that Nintendo blew their load early and now they are left with hardly anything that can push hardware sales. Switch is bound to share the usual fate of Nintendo consoles. That is, start off strong and drop off into oblivion after two or three years on the market.

Rol, were you a class clown at any point?
