A bit late to the party, but given the upbeat Famitsu leaks this week I though I'd give my predictions here as well:
| % Change | 3,407,158 | 3,407,158 |
| 2.2% | 3,482,388 | 6,889,546 |
| 29.0% | 4,493,903 | 11,383,449 |
| 39.5% | 6,268,964 | 17,652,413 |
| 14.0% | 7,147,587 | 24,800,000 |
| -27.2% | 5,200,000 | 30,000,000 |
| -32.7% | 3,500,000 | 33,500,000 |
| -48.6% | 1,800,000 | 35,300,000 |
| -72.2% | 500,000 | 35,800,000 |
| -65.0% | 175,000 | 35,975,000 |
| -85.7% | 25,000 | 36,000,000 |
Here are my predictions for this year as well:
| 563,268 | 18,215,681 |
| 350,447 | 18,566,128 |
| 520,138 | 19,086,266 |
| 596,493 | 19,682,759 |
| 450,000 | 20,100,000 |
| 500,000 | 20,600,000 |
| 600,000 | 21,200,000 |
| 400,000 | 21,600,000 |
| 400,000 | 22,000,000 |
| 700,000 | 22,700,000 |
| 850,000 | 23,600,000 |
| 1,250,000 | 24,800,000 |
Hopefully beating the 3DS this year is an attainable goal, although at the current sales pace it very well might be. In any case, expect the Switch Pro and Pokemon, as well as adequate shipments this fall to be the deciding factor in whether or not 7 million pace can be achieved.
