It does eventually have to fall behind 3DS to sell less than 75 million, you just agreed with me that year 4 will sell 12+ million putting LTD at ~67.5 million by March 2021. Do you realize how big of a drop it would need to have to miss 75 million?

These are the median numbers for the estimates I gave (estimates you just agreed with)

2.74m

15.05m

FY19-18.5m (LTD 36.5m)

FY20-17.5m (LTD 54.0m)

FY21-13.5m (LTD 67.5m)

How big of a drop are you expecting at that point?

FY22-6.0m (LTD 73.5m)

FY23-1.5m (LTD 75m)

That's a 55% drop followed by a 75% drop for FY 5 & 6 which I believe would be the most significant drops for any successful platform.

Not even Wii or GBA had nearly that bad of declines and Wii is known for having a harsh decline while GBA was replaced in its 4th fiscal year.

I did say plus or minus 5M. So my ceiling is actually 80M. But to keep thins interesting I am using the 3DS as my marker.

And saying I agree with your numbers doesn't mean I agree with everything literally. Like i would replace FY19 18.5M with 17M and FY 20 with 16M.

80M is my ceiling. What I am expecting is really around 75M by the time the next Switch is released. 

Ok so how about you just say what your yearly projections are instead of me constantly coming up with numbers showing how going below 3DS/75 million isnt likely.
