I'm willing to bet on the Switch reaching 33mil lifetime.

33m? How? Would take another year like 2021 and 2020 at least.

As a reminder the Switch turns 5 years old in March 2022.

TBF, 2022 is looking very promising for the Switch in Japan:

- Higher stock for the OLED model.
- Pokemon Legends Arceus
- Splatoon 3 
- Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land
- Breath of the Wild 2

And smaller stuff like Triangle Strategy and Bayonetta 3 to back up the big guns.

And that’s just the stuff we know about! We’re due for a new Fire Emblem, DKC, 3D Mario, and/or maybe even Pokemon Gen 9.

I’m aware that the Switch is beginning to reach the latter phase of its cycle, but 2022 has the potential, at least in Japan, to be its best year to date.
