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.

That's not true. In 2016, people were much more pessimist about the Switch's prospects, here's  a thread from October 2016
