This is incredible, and provided Nintendo kept the same pace, and XBOX One ceased to sell at all, it would be likely that Nintendo would top its sales within 14-18 months time.
Of course, the above scenario is impossible. With XBOX One X, Microsoft has managed to resurrect the platform's sales, and they could well perform much higher than anticipated in 2018. Nintendo, on the other hand, would pretty much have to surpass their first year, which sounds impossible at this moment.
I understand that eventually, given current trends, Switch could outsell the XBOX. But if this happens at the twilight of this generation, then it would be a Pyrrhic victory.
Will the Switch surpass XBOX One (vanilla, S, and X) sales? |

I certainly hope is an Aprils Fools joke haha.
OP why in the world do you say it is impossible for the Switch to beat its first year sales?? I've never heard anyone say they think it'll sell less than the first year. And Xbox is selling about half of what the Switch is - not exactly the number it needs to hold off the Switch. Switch should pass xbox in late 2019 or early 2020 and probably end up doubling xbox sales.
