Switch is doing well, but in a few years we will all look back and realize that these first two years were the "slow" years.  The real excitement is yet to come.

I wouldn't get too far ahead of yourself there.  That's the same kind of thinking that led people to believe Nintendo would hit 20M this FY and do 2.5M this past Dec in the US.  The Switch is successful, but its not the Wii in its prime.

I've been predicting Switch would become the best selling console of all time for a while now.  People are underestimating how many third party games the Switch will have.  They are also overestimating the effect of Western AAA third parties compared to all of the other third party games.  Switch is going to have a massive third party library, but it will miss lots of the big names that get mentioned most often.  I am betting quantity will beat quality (or budget).

The number of third party games on Switch is going to increase dramatically this year.  When the flood of games comes, then the console sales will follow.
