Nice prediction, Rol! I'm pretty sure I posted somewhere in this thread agreeing with it. As I said, Nintendo's aim with the Switch needs to be the DS and the Wii, not any console below 100m units. So, after the Wii U disaster, Nintendo is now the market leader again.
Right now though, I think they've had some missteps again. Labo was supposed to be their big casual hit but once again, Nintendo proved that they don't understand the mass market. Also, the release schedule is heavy on modern 3D Nintendo titles (Yoshi, Fire Emblem, Smash) but I don't see much classic Nintendo this year. I predict this will impact sales in the long run. If they want to match DS sales they will have to deliver for the classic Nintendo fans and the expanded market as well. Otherwise the Switch won't be growing the market but simply gobble Nintendo's already existing handheld and home console markets - stable, but not exciting.
