There is nothing more delusional than a Nintendo fanboy.

Sony have 3 out the 5 best selling consoles of all time, the best selling console of all time and PS4 is going to hit 120m+, something the Switch can only dream of.

PS5 will sell a number that Nintendo wishes SW2 can achieve.

What will Switch final sales be and please give regional breakdown.

105-110 million

18 -> 12 -> 6 (successor launched) > 1-2

So I see we've circled all the way back to the old 2017 meme, "The Switch Will Fall Off A Cliff". First it was 2018, then 2019, then 2020, now apparently 2021 is when we reach the fabled precipice spoken of in the ancient scrolls.

Let's take the higher end of your forecast; 110 million, then subtract the years; - 2 = 108, -6 = 102, -12 = 90, -18 = 72. So even for that to happen Switch would have to sell just 2-3 million more these holidays, which is an ridiculous lowball.

And for the lower end of your forecast to hold true, 105 million, Switch would actually have to go backwards and reduce in sales by 2 million between now and January. How's that gonna work, exactly?
