Does Anybody Believe the NSW can sell around 150mil lifetime?

I think it's still up in the air with the Switch, depending on whether the successor launches soon vs. a Switch Pro (which I would loop into the NSW sales numbers). I really don't see the Switch doing under 90M at this point, but anywhere from there to 120M are all within the realm of reasonable. Could it do more? Only if Nintendo doubles down with a round of sequels for all of their existing AAAs on Switch, and brings back some fan favorites with Paper Mario, F-Zero, maybe Earthbound.

150+ would need a terrific lineup of software from Nintendo, something that theoretically should/could happen with all of their studios working on one platform. So far, we haven't seen a huge bump in output from the Big N themselves, which is a bit of a shame.

Nintendo will release a Switch 2 but actually will not name it 2. Its sales numbers will be added to the old Switch models. That way, they will take the 150 mil. in a breeze. I really think they will do that (they have done the same with the Game Boy Color - let's face it, it was a real successor). Although, profit is much more important for companies than sales numbers, the announcement of having the best selling console ever will positively affect the stock market and will be a prestige for years to come with effect of lets name it indirect revenue. Nintendo Switch is the words best selling console lifetime! A slogan they would then be able to bank on for years (maybe for eternity).

Yeah, GBC was a whole new console. Always blew me away that Nintendo just bundled the two together (sales-wise) when the GBC had so many exclusives.
