I'm with Zippy and Torpoleon, I expect Switch to still be above 20 million in 2022 (barring extraordinary circumstances like a premature successor) but down from 2021.

Most people interested in a Switch will have one by now, and individual system sellers tend to make less of a difference later in a console's life.

That said, 2022's lineup is already very strong and that's just the games we know about; there are almost certainly other major titles not yet announced as well. A strong overall lineup will help keep the system relevant and talked about, as well as adding compound value to its evergreen catalogue.

Yeah I’ve been thinking 2022 sales will be similar to 2019.

Winter-Pokemon Legends/Triangle Strategy

Spring-Advance Wars/3D Kirby

Summer-Splatoon/Mario Rabbids

Fall-Bayonetta/Zelda

Assuming this is when the currently announced games release, they already have their bases covered and I mostly expect another mid-sized (like rumored Fire Emblem in Summer) & casual focused (like Nintendogs or new IP in Fall) title to fill out the year.

I was thinking maybe a big Mario title alongside the movie but I don’t think they will have a big Zelda & Mario both in the holidays so maybe it will release slightly later like Jan/Feb (NSMBU & 3D World ports both launched in this window).
