Because you make it sound like the Switch only did so well because of the pandemic and people were stuck indoors.

Not at all. All I said was that even with the pandemic significantly boosting sales those years that it wasn't able to sell 6.6m in Japan in a single year to show the lack of realism of the Switch 2 selling that much in its first calendar year since that'll be less than a full year. It was nothing more than saying that even in that unusual circumstance the Switch couldn't do that.

Yes I do agree that it’ll be an unusual circumstance to sell 6.6M units of any console in maybe 6 months. But we are talking about Japan. Japan is a huge supporter of the Switch as 28% of the entire population owns a Switch (if one person owns a Switch). Switch 2 has the followers to be able to make 6.67M a possibility.

I didn’t think you were downplaying. We just out here says the facts (and my opinions of predictions based on facts available).

Hmmm is there a game in Japan that sold over 6M in a year? I think that would be how we should look at this scenario the Switch 2 has.
