The DS sold 11 Million Units in it's best year in Europe while the Switch in 2020 sold 7 Million in Europe, which is widely considered the peak year for the Switch. So unless the Switch still has yet to reach it's peak year or has a much longer lifespan of sales than the DS then I find it unlikely it could sell over 40 Million like some are speculating. We have to see.

I don't think the Switch will have a much longer lifespan than the DS, but I definitely think it will be longer. There was only a bit more than 6 years between the DS and 3DS (almost 6 years exactly in Europe), I expect that period to be at least 7 years for the Switch. In regards to peak year in Europe, I think 2021 has a chance if it gets a price cut, though it still won't come near the 11 mil of the DS. The DS did sell a ridicolous 52 mil in Europe though, so the Switch doesn't need to keep pace with that to hit 40 mil.

It's not a sure thing, but as of right now crossing 40 mil seems doable to me, so I voted for 40-45 mil.
