He is right thought, US was always strongest market for Nintendo same like Europe was for Sony, Switch has good chances beating PS4 in US at end, for now they are selling very similar in US for same time period.

But he`s not right. He actually couldn't be more wrong if he tried. And you will be very wrong too especially with a claim like that.

Since the PS1 nintendo has never won the US market. The only exception to this was with the PS3/Wii generation and even then it didn't win NA. The 360 did. So what claim exactly does anyone have to say NA is its strongest market? Absolutely none. Especially liken it t sonys dominance in EU? Ridiculous.

Sony has NEVER not won the EU market. From the PS1 all the way to the PS4. 

Sony has won the NA market 3 times out of 4 and when it lost it it lost it t the XB not nintendo. 

So really how or n what grounds is NA nintendos strongest market the same way EU is sonys strongest market when in 4 generations nintendo has never won in NA or EU? 

The simple truth of the matter is that Japan is nintendos best claim for a strongest market and even that is debatable because its obvious japan is home console resistant and prefer their handhelds. Case in point the wii only beating the PS3 by 2M in japan and japan only account for 12M f the Wiis 100M sales.

You have some problem with reading or understanding point that someone is trying to make, you keep replying to people things they didnt wrote.

I am right, I never said that Nintendo is wining US markets, I said that for Nintendo US market is strongest market while Europe is strongest market for Sony, and thats a fact. Nintendo is selling most if its consoles on US market while Sony selling most of its console on Europe market simple as that, MS also selling also most of consoles to US (but Xbox brand is generally much weaker on any other market).

For your information, despite Japan prefers handheld mostly, Nintendo handhelds also sold most in US not in Japan.

I'm laughing with the gloom and doom for PS4 and X1, how much doom reaching 100M is?
Also 25M sales for Switch in 2019 is something very hard to achieve.
Plus December will be funny to see when we have predictions of Switch under 1.4 and over 2M... one of those can be very wrong.

This year the switch is going to do around 16M at best. Which is great but a far cry from then going on to do 25M in sales the next year. Its currently at 11M s its even generous saying it will sell 5M consoles in the last 5 weeks of 2018. I dont know how some in the ninty camp see these things or if they are mixing up shipped and sold numbers.. but whatever it is its just unrealistic.  

Can they do 18M or even 19M in sales next year? Absolutely and more in line with what I would expect... but 20M and up is very unrealistic to me. I am very very very curious to know what people feel the sales drivers are going to be to make it go from a 15M -16M year to a 20M - 25M year though. 

When people talking about hole year they talking about shipped numbers because those are only official numbers we getting from Nintendo, this year Switch will maybe even hit their target of 20m shipped units, 18-19m is like minimum they will ship. Next year more than 20m is very likely. Even Wii had only year with 26m shipped units, not sold units, no one said that Switch can sell 25m in 2019.
