And that's fine that you forgot but the poster didnt ridicule you with that quote, all he did was show you that your statement wasnt correct.

Well honestly your Switch predictions shouldn't be taken seriously as you have upped them 3 times now. From 35-40 to 55-60 to 70-80 and now to 85+. 

I do remember the argument in that thread and like I said in my last post, it was never an argument about your numbers changing, it was about a contradicting statement you made.

Ok. This whole thing has played itself out.

I have changed my prediction twice not thrice. I never made an 85M+ prediction. But I will not continue indulging this either. Its ok. You guys win.

Feel free to disregard any prediction I have made about the switch. I'll take it a step further and not say anything switch related ever again on this site. For my own peace of mind cause apparently a low prediction for the switch results in all manner of drama. 

 

One thing before you go, you did give it a ~85 million prediction just a few posts ago, here is what you said:

Ok. My numbers. Sold to consumers

2017: 13M

2018: 15.6M

2019: 17M

2020: 14.4M

2021: 11.2M

2022: 8M

Total: 79.2M

 

No console in history has gone from 8 million in a year to not selling another few million after that.

Look at PS3 & 360, they sold 8.25m & 6.25m in 2013 (the year their successors released). From that point on they sold another 5.5m & 4m.

If Switch has an 8 million selling year in 2022 than it will almost certainly add another 5 million or so to its lifetime numbers.
