I'm surprised I didn't post on this thread back then. I remember laughing at this kind of numbers back then. I made a thread about Nintendo being better by going third party like Xbox is doing now because of how bad I think it would fall, and their games would enjoy being available to a bigger audience (the bigger audience, but on the Switch itself, did made their games sales explode indeed).
I definitely felt the Switch announcement was bad and $300 was far too much, so I expected 50M tops when it was done.
The Switch was the only time I got one those there wrong since I joined this site. But it was WAY wrong.
I still think my reaction was the logical one, massive decline from Wii to Wii U and DS to 3DS, PS4 doing really well, I didn't see the Switch being successful being only $100 less than it, while Nintendo was into this big downward trend.
You can see even some Nintendo fans just hoping it could reach 3DS sales levels, not 100M much less 160M.
