I'd beg to differ on that. If Nintendo plays their cards right, then Switch will be the next "real" competitor to the Wii. 

Then again, the Wii also could have surpassed PS1 had Nintendo played their cards right there, too. Sooo .... it may be a long shot  

So many different factors to consider but my gut tells me that the limit may be 65 million.  I know that seems ridiculous to some but I think Nintendo will throw us a curveball.   

I believe the rumors that Nintendo is in fact making an upgraded unit AND I believe that Sony is working on one too from the public design specs. 

I believe that Nintendo is deadset on making an new version that will not be forwards compatible with the Switch.  This is how they compete.  No more articles about games like RDR2 not coming to Switch.  The new version will be as powerful as the base PS4.

All of this, plus Nintendo's frontloaded history leads me to believe that it wont reach the heights of  Wii.

The only issue with that is that it won't matter. They make a switch 2 as powerful as the PS4 (just like the current switch is arguably on par with the PS3/360) then its the same shit all over aain cause it will come at a time when everyone is on the PS5/XB2. And their games will still not be able to run on the switch 2.

Nintendo shouldn,t even try or bother competing with the HD twins.... they should focus on carving out a niche for themselves. Be the second console everyone gets. If they play that card right then they could sell better than either the PS5/XB2.
