Faster than Wii/ PS2 is obviously good but really the real race here was always Switch vs handhelds, Will be interesting to see how the pace btw Switch and 3DS/ DS continues.

It is selling slower than the 3DS and that isn't even 25 million yet. DS hit 32 million I believe so that is obviously the goal, but somehow I doubt it gets that far. I think 20 million is realistic or current generation of the Switch

I have my reservations about Switch catching the DS/3DS as well, but it is still too early to tell.  We still have the next mainline Pokemon game and Animal Crossing, so I think after year 3 will be a good point to draw some more accurate predictions.

 

However 20-25 mil seems like a reasonable guess in my book.  It is likely we will see a Switch 2 being announced in year 4 and dropping in year 5, since eventually they will need to get closer to the PS5.  When that happens, sales will slow as people wait for the new device to drop.

They may do a switch Pro but noway do they do switch 2 so soon. Switch didnt stop ps4 doing good sales and ps5 won't stop switch doing good sales.
