Switch is insane. Baseline over 400k and big launch is 750k. Assuming this year new model + holiday BotW2 & Pokemon launches, Nintendo is definitely trying to outdo the hardware peak from last year! Switch should most likely pass Wii and PS1 in December.

Yup, NS is going to outsell Wii this year. PS4 next year.

Switch can easily beat it's 2020 hardware totals if Nintendo don't drop the ball in the second half of the year.

If their second semester lineup is strong they could probably do it even without a revision; throw in the rumored Pro and it should be a slam dunk barring inadequate supply.


Using a magic third-hand crystal ball that once belonged to P, the mightiest analyst ever, I predict that NS will outsell XB360, PS3 and Wii easily, then a trip and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THE CLIFF! It will stop at 101,641,000 lifetime.

This proves that every now and then a third-party game can significantly boost Nintendo hardware sales. Honestly, I don't think any other Switch third-party game to date had much of an impact on sales.

I'm not sure any third-party game has EVER increased sales of a Nintendo console that much before. 


When MH will have outsold enough 1st party titles, Ninty will start hating it and NS too.
