I am not sure if this is joke thread or not, but I do agree with point that Switch is still away from its true handheld potential mostly because current price point of $300 that higher price point for people that look Switch only like handheld or for people that would love to have multiply Switch devices in home (device per person).
I mean you can very often buy PS4 or XB1 for $200, so for some people its hard to pay $300 for Switch instead. Price cuts and revisions will have huge effect on Switch sales, just to try to imagine how much Switch will sell when will have price point of around $200 or lower with multiple revisions and price points available on market.
I am not saying that Switch will hit 150m, but passing Wii numbers is very possible, Wii had stronger sales in same period than Switch, but Switch will have couple of things that Wii didnt had:
-Longer life span. Nintendo said they planing Switch to have longer life span than usual 6 years, while Nintendo suported Wii for around 4-5 years.
-Handheld side. Wii was selling only like home console, Switch is selling like handheld also, that means higher appealing on market in long run espacily with lower price point and revisions.
-Multiply different type of revisions. Switch is essentially handheld hardware and its sure it will have multiple revisions and different price points similar to 3DS, while Wii had only at end of its life.
-Unified platform that means all Nintendo IPs, both home console and handheld on one platform, that will make Switch lineup more appealing.
Switch will this year end close to 20m, and thats without price cut, with point that next year we will have price cut and probably revision, and with just already confirmed games, Switch will next year most likely do more than 20m.
