Switch is 7.5m from getting the all time record. Unlikely yes, but small possibility? Maybe with a Switch pro? BOTW 2 boost? Possible.. and at its price point that is seriously impressive


Maybe the more likely record is to break PS2's home console record (I am taking out Switch L sales as it's handheld only). That record is 23.2m for PS2 vs 20.7m Switch home consoles. It will probably do it in Q2 of next year unless Splatoon and Pokemon give the Switch a major holidays boost

I think Switch has an excellent shot at the record. And if they get aggressive in the last couple years on the market (system price cuts, software price cuts, and a few more major games...2D Mario anyone?) then they are pretty much guaranteed to break the DS's record.

It'll do high four million this year. Next year if it does say 3.5 million that puts it only 2 million away from the record. I think a successor is likely holiday 2024, but even with that there's a good chance Switch is right at the record by end of that year just after the successor's launch. Then it'll probably do another million-plus before they stop production on the Switch. I think there's a great chance it ends up with 34 million and change, 35 million if they keep producing it for a few years in small quantities.
