Just wondering, why are you getting worked up from my opinion? I think its important to have hot takes, and even cold takes. And yes, I personally think that the GTA is an overall bad to society. Playstation and Xbox adhere to the more mature audience, while Nintendo adheres to the younger generations. We have proof based on the majority of games they develop and have developed. PC is its own thing and not considered a console.

Now back to 160M+ for the Switch. If Nintendo is releasing the Switch successor before Mar 31, 2025 then we should see a rather higher number than what we are expecting. We are expecting somewhere around 10M shipped ±2M. There were also rumors that Nintendo wanted to ship 10M successor units before the end of the FY. Personally I don't know if that rumor still holds any water due to the situation Nintendo is in rn. I think if they are to release the successor before Mar 31 (like the Switch was), then Nintendo should be able to sell and ship around 3M and 5M units respectively before the end of the FY.
I expect the FY goal to be 15M shipped (10M Switch, 5M Successor).

If Nintendo releases the successor after Mar 31, then this upcoming FY goal will be 10M.

Nintendo adheres to a mature audience just as much as Xbox & PS do. A vast majority of Switch players are adults as shown by many studies on Switch's demographic. Nintendo also offers almost just as many mature experiences you'll see on PS & Xbox from 3rd parties and many of them sell well on Switch. Just cause more family friendly Nintendo games are the bestselling and forefront of the system doesn't make the system any less appealing for mature audiences compared to PS & Xbox. In fact, some games on Switch offer a more mature experience compared to Xbox & PS since Nintendo doesn't enforce any censors on certain graphic games unlike Sony.

Well said. There are H-games on the Switch e-shop that are more lewd or have more graphic content (I really don't like using the word "mature") than GTA, and if I had choose between the former and latter to play in a crowd full of people, I'd rather play GTA than some of those games.

People think Nintendo consoles didn't get GTA games back in the day because of some supposed moral stance when it really just came down to moneyhatting from platform holders to either keep them exclusive to one console or finally get them on another. Nintendo stayed out of that, meanwhile it got games that were just as "mature" and edgy (if not more) like True Crime and its sequel, Dead To Rights and BMX XXX all on the GCN. The Wii got freaking Manhunt 2. The DS got GTA Chinatown Wars. Nintendo published Devil's Turd Third on the Wii U.
