2006, launch of the wii. Zelda Twilight Princess with motion controls and Wii sports along witb Red Steel and Dragonball Bodukai Tecnkaichi 2. Best year Nintendo ever had. Even though it was only two months or so.

Considering I gave an honorable mention to GameCube's 2001 (less than two months in North America), I can't really argue with Wii's 2006.

Wii had more on offer in 2006 on launch day than Switch on launch day in 2017. Twilight Princess vs. Breath of the Wild is debatable, but I think very few would pick 1-2 Switch over Wii Sports. Add on the games you listed and others like Cars as a pleasant movie tie-in and the Wii had some strong offerings out the gate.

I gave GameCube a shout out for SSBM and Luigi's Mansion while there was also Animal Crossing in Japan on GameCube that Holiday and there are other games like Pikmin and Rogue Leader.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
