Uhm... what?

bold: You are aware that the Switch just dropped below 200k because of shortages, right? Without those, Switch normally sells more around 250k weekly, actually. Just have a look here for weekly sales this and last year: Click 

italic: You are aware that the Switch sold at least those 14-16M Every single year, right?

underlined: Dude, we just had a discussion how the Switch will not be replaced early, and that the 3DS already didn't

true! damn nsw is a beast and i hate the new weely graph... who designed that?

but how many more years would switch will sell 14-16 m/year though?

yeah 3ds didnt get replaced and it is not selling well anyways... didn't even hit 100 million

when do you think nsw will hit 150m?

Switch will probably hit ~20M this FY and 70M shipped by the end of the year. It didn't have a pricecut yet, so there's no reason sales would slow anytime soon.

3DS needed a massive pricecut to even take off the ground, that's why it didn't reach nearly as high as the DS did and why sales crashed down after the first 2 years, something that ain't happening with the Switch.

If Switch will reach 150M, then probably only by 2025 or even later, when the successor is already out. But like with the 3DS, I really doubt Nintendo will cut support for the Switch when the new console comes out, just successively slow it down over the years until it gets phased down when the successor is already selling for a couple years.
