As of early 2019, I'm predicting 70-80 million. So it will outsell the 3DS a little, or sell similar.
Mario, Zelda, Super Smash Bros. all have installments. They move a ton of hardware. The only big hardware movers I think that are left are Animal Crossing and Gen 8 Pokemon. The Switch will probably run out of a lot of steam by mid-2021. Once the PS5 and next Xbox are out, that is going to take a lot of attention away from the Switch.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)
PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)
Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
