The PS2 sold around 157 million units over almost 13 years. It never shipped over 11 million units in a single quarter. The DS did more than the Switch's 11.57 million twice because it sold 154 million units in around 9 years, a much shorter time frame. Therefore it was more concentrated.

I can see BotW and SSBU sell over 30 million units and MK8DX and ACNH over 50 million. The Wii had seven games that sold more than 20 million units, the Switch already has six. I think it can get 8 or more 20 million sellers.

Every main series Pokemon game coming to Switch is a basically guaranteed 10 million seller and given SWSH's sales, maybe the next generation will also hit 20m. BOTW 2 could hit 20m as well.

I actually think MK8 DX and maybe ACNH could reach 60m or higher. Certainly if they bundle the Switch with these games more, the sales would go higher as well.

Yeah, BOTW & SSBU should reach 30m within the next 2 years or so. A complete edition of Smash containing all the DLC would propel sales even further. I actually wonder if those games could reach 40m. Hoping that SMO can reach 30m and surpass NSMB & NSMB Wii. Needs about 10m. Really depends on how long until the Switch successor releases. I'm hopeful that Nintendo can hold off on releasing a successor until Holiday 2025, in which case maybe these sales goals can be achieved (though it wouldn't surprise me to see one as early as Holiday 2024).
