Really successful, and unsurprising. By the end of this calendar year, it could very well hit SNES numbers. At the very latest, it will hit that benchmark by the end of the fiscal year with the release of Animal Crossing: New Horizons (which will be a system seller).
As it is right now, I'm confident the Switch will hit 3DS lifetime sales. Game Boy Advance numbers are relatively likely too. It's not very unlikely the Switch will surpass the Wii, but I don't see it happening. Despite the Switch being a hybrid (and a dedicated handheld model coming out), I really do think the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett will take some of its sales.
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)
