Nintendo reportedly forecasting a record breaking fiscal year in terms of Hardware + Software sales

My prediction is a coming FY22 around 80-90% of the one just finishing now (FY21).
For HW I mean, for SW it could be more.
I just absolutely don't see any new coming game which would act as a HW boost.
The only one which could tempt me to buy a Switch, is a F-ZERO. A remake of GX is enough to me.

I only like Breath of the Wild and I have it on Wii U....Well then it is 2 games which tempt me. :|

There are already strong rumors about a significant hardware revision coming this calendar year. The timing coincides with the expected launch window of Breath of the Wild 2, so Nintendo has set themselves up for a sales pitch where they can show off a better performing BotW2 on the upcoming hardware revision.

While Sony and Microsoft have launched hardware upgrades last generation, neither one of them managed to or tried to combine their respective launch with a signature title, so Nintendo's approach could prove to be a lot more successful.

The rumors suggest that Nintendo will have a setup of three SKUs in the near future (regular hybrid, Lite and upgraded hybrid model) and as we've already seen with the Lite bringing additive sales rather than seriously cutting into the hybrid's sales, a similar effect can be expected here. That's why I consider the potential for an even bigger hardware year for Switch real rather than dreaming. There was a bit of a trade-off between hybrid and Lite sales, but overall it was still a net gain; the new SKU should behave similarly, so I expect the known hybrid's sales to decline slightly in the upcoming fiscal year, but total Switch hardware to stay flat of increase slightly.

What makes Switch predictions hard is that Nintendo keeps their cards close to their chest, so their first party software release schedule is largely unknown. If they have more 10m+ sellers than only BotW2 and Pokémon remake, that will obviously increase the odds for a record year.

Hopefully we get a newer revision this year. I know a disabled child who I intend to donate my Mariko Switch to.
Also hoping for a Switch TV.
