What does Nintendo need to do to reach 150M Switches sold?

Well, obviously not CoD, Overwatch or Fortnite-level of BIG but it definitely could attract all kinds of online-shooter-lovers owning a Switch. If the online part is really compelling I can see that it will be frequently played online for years. This would definitely attract additional buyers. This, in combination with my hopes that Metroid Prime 4 will be Breath of the Wild-level-great, the game could possibly sell 10 mil. lifetime and sell systems.

I think MP4 is going to be way bigger than any previous Metroid game. I think the userbase of Switch would eat up Metroid Prime, and Nintendo fans are dying for it. It's not gonna be a mega selling game but 6 to 8 million is very possible I think, which would make it a pretty big game sales-wise. I hope they don't add in multiplayer though. Deathmatch just doesn't fit with Metroid. MP2 had deathmatch, that didn't lead to an explosion in sales, because it just doesn't fit with the series. Also considering the setbacks they've had with development, I definitely don't want them spending a bunch of time trying to add in multiplayer when they need to just be focusing on making the game great and getting it finished.

I'm assuming Metroid Prime Trilogy HD will be released at some point, and before MP4 comes out, and I think that game will also sell more than any other Metroid.

I follow the development of Metroid Prime 4 very closely on information that is publicly available. Job hiring descriptions on Reto Studios' homepage and the people they effectively hired at the end indicate that it will have a strong online multiplayer-mode. They hired people which had leading positions in the Halo, Battlefield and Star Wars series. I'm personally not a big online-player but why would they hire such experts if they wouldn't go with a serious online multiplayer-mode?
