Well, I guess slow to a crawl may be quoted but I'll relent and give praise as soon as the Switch 2 passes the mid twenties and shows no sign of slowing and if it makes it to the mid 30s with no sign of slowing I will revel in the hype to see how far it can get. I do hope for 70 million despite my "prediction". 

@Mar1217 's  take is pretty spot on.  You are unlikely to be able to hold a candle to QuickRick and that is a good thing.  Your post just gave off a similar vibe so I pointed it out given the nature of the thread.

Ah QuickRick, one of the biggest legends of this site - and he managed to do this in less than a year no less!

Also here in the forums. I can remember some guys expecting a bigger flop than the Wii U. I just can't find the threads anymore...
