I never lie and always take the L if the predictions are wrong. Again, I'll be happy if I'm wrong. I want to be very wrong and have this thing climb the graph super imposed on top of Switch figures. It just looks so far from likely, I'd put money on it. 35-50 million tops unless they revert back to cheaper games, have a Nintendo seal of approval on third party games that they are on the carts, significantly cut the console price and don't increase it cause of Tarrifs and of course, make sure their first party is of such high quality and high scores to gain people's interest even at these prices during what looks to be a massive global economic down turn. 

That's good to hear (the never lying part). I personally think between 120 to 130 million unless the tariffs issue shows up again because that is pretty much out of Nintendo's or any business hands. I think there will be more variance in pricing than people think along with retail/digital deals. I don't think the largest franchises have much issue in justifying the price hikes and the richer will just get richer, while the smaller franchises take the hit for trying to go up in price. Don't think the issues with the games being game key cards are big besides the internet bubble because digital is pretty dominant and the world has become accustomed to a digital world. All in all, I don't think prices will do as much damage as you think, selling more than Switch was always unlikely no matter the price. PS2 and DS are the only ones above Switch for a reason despite several other platforms from the past. 

You don't get a sense that people are legit not able to afford this and things will only get worse economically and the only way they are keep the price down in the US is they're eating the cost and have stock there and the price increase will come after release. After seeing Nintendo youtubers pivoting away from glazing Nintendo cause their audience is so mad about pricing, and key carts and what not. Idk, people have already started to flock to FTP games and older games with emulation.
