If I had to take a wild on guess how the Switch will sell in Japan for its life cycle, here's what I would think.
Units in millions:
2017: 3.3
2018: 3.6
2019: 4.5 - (Animal Crossing, Pokemon Gen 8, price cut/hardware revision that brings the Switch price to $250)
2020: 4.2 (Pokemon Gen 4 remakes)
2021: 3.8 ($50 price cut to $199)
2022: 3.9 (Pokemon Gen 9)
2023: 2.4 (Nintendo Switch 2 launch)
2024: 1.3
2025: 0.6
2026: 0.2 (Discontinued)
2027: 0.04 (Final Year on market)
Final Tally: 27.84 million
