The Road to 160m+ for Nintendo Switch

@XtremeBG makes some very good points that some ppl on here need to listen to: (i) We do not know anything beyond January 2025 about Nintendo’s hardware/software plans; (ii) It’s very easy to become caught up in the hype especially when discussing whether a console will become the next best seller of all time; (iii) Sales figures have a history of "dropping like a rock" after the release of a successor.

And especially passing the 140M. It's like there is obstacles at every milestone by 10, but at 140M it becomes really hard to jump and to not get an injury. Or to be in the game on easy, and after 140M to go on hard. Just after that numbers everyone's stamina falls of no matter how strong they are (DS, the strongest sales in peak period) or how long legs they can show (PS2 legs cut in half there, from 14 to 16M every year down to 6M). See DS, See PS2, and See now Switch. When the DS dropped like a rock ? when it was around that number, when PS2 dropped from 14-16M to 6-7M for 2 years and then 4M ? when it was approaching the 140M. When Switch began to show drops of 60 and 70% in US and Europe, and dropped in the 30s finally in JAPAN ? when it approached the 140M milestone. The obstacle of 150M is even bigger and it slows everyone even more. And 160 is the bed for the dead (which DS didn't reach cuz of how brutal 150M milestone was, and PS2 we don't know for sure, but even if it was it was killed slowly by the 150, cuz at the point of reaching 160 it was dead). Maybe it's laughable but if you think it that way it's more easy, than the traditional way. The only things that can give the Switch more energy to pass the realms of 150s into 160M are the factors I described, and they are only in Nintendo's hands.
