But when will it fall off a cliff DAMN IT!

I've been promised that it will fall of a cliff for months now on this site and I am still waiting

Actually I think it's been more than a year, IIRC quickrick's infamous prophecy about Switch falling off a cliff in 2018 came late in 2017.

I almost miss the guy sometimes, would've been interesting to see what absurd claims he'd have made next. It was always something; after the cliff it became Switch won't win any NPD in 2018, Switch's holidays will be flat YOY despite Smash, Smash will sell only 8-10 million lifetime, etc.

Yeah, he expected that 2018 sales would fall off a cliff compared to 2017, and when that didn't materialize he explained that with fall off a cliff he meant essentially flat

If he hadstill been around and used that phrase again, I would have countered that Cliff Blezinski tripped and his Switch fell out of his hands, thus making it true: It then fell off a Cliff, right

Yep the cliff talk started in 2017 and I too would like to hear what kind of excuses/claims he would come up with.

I can think of a few...

- 2018 was Switch's peak year and it's all downhill from here

- Pokemon Gen 8 won't sell systems cos every Pokemon fan already bought one for Let's Go

- Animal Crossing won't sell systems because I just don't think it will

- Switch will die overnight when PS5/Nextbox are announced

I think remembering him saying something like Animal Crossing won't sell because the Wii U game (which is an universally hated spinoff) didn't sell, but that could have been someone else, too
