If they keep selling 2-3 million copies a year (which seems likely as the Switch continues to grow) it will easily sell 30m lifetime.

Exactly my toughts, Switch is in the middle of his lifetime, so new players and adopters will push pokemon and zelda and a lot of exclusive games beyond normal sales expectations.

I don't think we can compare past sales trends with Switch sales trends. Handhelds always seemed to drive more of a "dedicated" fanbase, Nintendo consoles have been more viewed as "gimmick" than gaming machines for a while, etc.

The Nintendo Switch has been bucking all trends because it is truly the most innovative gaming hardware of all time. I personally have always dreamed of the ability to play a game on the go then when I'm at home play it on my big ass TV... I never thought it would be possible anytime soon... then the Switch came out. It is that rare moment where people find something they never realized they wanted it until they tried it. We haven't witnessed something that shakes up an industry this much since the original iPhone...
