Going back to 2016, who would have ever thought Switch would finish at LEAST top 3 of all time.

That's if you count the DS. It was strictly portable.

If you count the switch as a home console it will become second best of all time.

Everyone predicted it to sell at least 80 million. Its the 3DS successor and also a home console all in 1, of course it would sell well. Nintendo portables always sell well.

Clearly you weren't here in 2015-2016, during the dark days of the Wii U and late 3DS. 

Before the Switch, Nintendo was coming off their worst generation, by far. With their worst selling handheld, worst selling console, and 3 straight fiscal years making a loss. During those two years, they were carried by amiibo, the classic consoles, and software sales. There were plenty of people skeptical about the 'NX' at the time. From my perspective, it had more doubters than it had supporters.
