I don't see any scenario in which it sells less than 80m. It will sell in the 100-120m range imo. The console is marginally more expensive than I expected and the physical game price is a big shock to me also, so that has dampened my expectations somewhat, but not enough that I think it's in trouble. I've always expected it to sell worse than the Switch 1 lifetime.

I'm still confident it will break the 100m mark.

Unless Nintendo make a U turn around the pricing of the games, I could see it selling around 50-60 millions. Could be less if the bad buzz materializes.  I think that reparing the damage of a bad launch and a bad buzz is the hardest. Sony succeded with the PS3 but it took a lot of time.

Less than every Nintendo handheld to date (since we don't have separate sales figures for Game Boy and Game Boy Color)?

I see the likelihood in the single digits that it can't outsell 3DS's 75.9 million units. 



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: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 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)
