• Switch is doing well now, but it's final sales curve is going to look like the DS. The DS did pretty well in its first couple of years, but then it really took off to unprecedented levels. Expect to see that from Switch next year. The people who don't think the Switch will clear 80m are in for a huge surprise.

How did you reach that conclusion. Not saying you are wrong just curious. 

The long version of my thoughts are here:

The short version is with Switch, Nintendo is using their prowess in the handheld market to also claim the home market.  Right now it is mostly selling to the handheld market, but once it's library gets larger, then the home market will start buying Switches too.  It usually takes third parties a couple of years or so to make games, so I expect a pretty good amount of third party games to come out next year (and even more in 2020 and so on).
