Thinking 130m about now.

Every year we keep bringing the number up lol

remember in 2017 it was 40-50mil then 2018 was 3DS numbers (75mil) then 2019 it was 100mil? 2020 it’s 120mil for most optimistic people. 2021 it’ll be 140mil :p

Yeah, just compare that to the early predictions right after the reveal:

Sooo many thought Switch would bomba hard or at least sell less than 50M at the time, even in their most optimistic projections.

100m = cuz im pessimitic wtf?

The Switch has its best years behinde it, nearly all its big IPs have had titles, and its past halfway point in its lifecycle.
Its at ~54m units.

Why would it suddenly sell 100m extra units in its last 2-3 years?

Can it happend? yes, almost anything in life can.
Will this happend? highly unlikely.

Why only 2-3 years, why past halfway it's lifecycle? Already had that argument with another guy here that there's no reason for Nintendo to cut off their console so early, especially since there's still no pricecut to the base console.

I agree that most of the big guns have fired already, but Nintendo still has a lot of smaller IP to keep things going. Add to this some more Pokemon, BotW 2, Metroid Prime 4, Bayonetta 3, Shin Megami Tensei V, possibly a Mario Party, a Paper Mario, some new 2D Mario, 3D Mario... Seriously, with all the IP Nintendo owns, they could feed a console for a decade with a dozen games each year with only a couple repeats in the entire period.
