Intresting link.

I counted 37 predictions on the first page.... this is how they go:
9 people thought PS4 would win.
26 people thought NSW would win.
2 people thought it would be a virtuel tie between the two.

Your right the majority (26/37) did think the Switch would be the clear sales leader for 2018.

About 24% (a bunch) thought that the PS4 could beat the switch in sales for 2018.

"...a minority think that the Switch will "destroy" the PS4."

18 people (out of 26 for the Switch) thought that the Switch would beat the PS4 by more than 500k, ei "destroy" it in terms of sales.
I wouldnt call that a minority....  if thats like ~70% of the people, that think the Switch will win.

70% is more than a minority.
More people than not, thought the Switch would be wrecking the PS4 in 2018.
Things just turned out differntly (so far)

Would depend on what you consider to be destroying the competition. I wouldn't say ~500k over the space of a year is destroying, that difference can easily be covered in either November or December. ~500k is less than 10% of a years NPD data. November 17 saw a difference of ~700k between them, while December saw a ~500k difference the other way.

That said, if we use your own terms of >500k as being "destroying" then 18 out of 37 predictions on the first page of a ResetEra thread is still a minority, not the "most" as rick proclaimed.
