Switch will probably sell something like 4-4.5 million this year. A big decline from 2020/2021 but still very strong sales.

Similar to DS/3DS when they peaked, had a year of modest decline followed by a big decline.

DS
2006-8.86m
2007-7.14m
2008-4.03m

3DS
2012-5.62m
2013-4.93m
2014-3.15m

NSW
2020-5.96m
2021-5.58m
2022-4.2m

I'm going to predict 4.6mil.

I guess Switch won't fall below 2019 level (4.5m) in 2022. Software lineup is just too good and at least Splatoon 3 should push a decent amout of consoles in Japan, and also BOTW 2. I expect the big drop in 2023.

Nintendo killed the DS too fast. I don't think they make this mistake again.
