I was initially sceptical about the Switch. But in early 2017 (either shortly before or after the launch), when some people said the "highly optimistic" target for Nintendo would be to sell as much as Wii U + 3DS combined, I argued Nintendo should instead aim at DS level sales (150m units) and I remember multiple posters arguing against me when I cited business books to prove the Switch had the potential to achieve that goal. I still stand by that prediction: If Nintendo focuses on a mainstream audience and produces high quality games for the mass market they can sell 150m+ Switch units.
