The crazy thing is that a 30M selling Switch 2 would be around the same sales as Xbox series X/S, but instead of getting every game ported over to it like Xbox series X/S got, Switch 2 would probably get zero third party support if it sold only 30M units.

Yeah tbh Switch 2 could sell double that and they would be reluctant to port anything over they'd just be forced to as they wouldn't be able to justify to share holders why they've not approached a significant userbase.

We do not know enough about Switch 2 to say how much it sells. Fact is, the Switch 2 unveil video surpassed PS5's unveil! Thats a good start, reactions are overwhelmingly positive (maybe even the most positive rractions ever for a system unveil- at least its hype level surpasses the ones of every  system from any company ever) but thats only half of the Story! In the US the Dreamcast had a record breaking launch, the WiiU sold 3,5 million in its first 3 weeks (december 2012), the Vita sold 1,1 million in its firt few days WW, but we know how these systems ended... I say a flop is basically excluded but i wouldn't throw numbers like 150 million+ around. What we can say is that the Switch will end with 157 million+ minimum by march 2027 thats as good as guaranteed!
