Dude this is my real account, I literally post on other sales sites with the same username. Regardless if I was afraid to make predictions then I wouldnt be on record according to you about Switch reaching this goal lol. Let's be clear, this all lives in your head rent free because of all the times I burnt you for being dishonest. You are the one constantly making post in here and quoting others about how you agree with any stance of it not making it. Now you are upset I poked fun at you for quoting that post with "I agree" instead of thumbing up the post, which by the way the poster you agreed with thumbed up my post poking fun at you lol. You are so hurt over Switch that you just had to tell everyone you agree lol. 

The only one worried is you, which is why you obsess with using Vgchartz's estimated figures to put it as low as possible so you can claim the gap is as large as possible and why you bendover backwards to claim it's flaming out too quickly without any sales analyst to show us how you are right. I wonder why? Maybe because you truly aren't confident at all and don't want another bad prediction.

The reality is, as of June 30, 2025, Switch will have shipped about ~153 million lol. Not only are the sales of Switch getting slimmer like the post you quoted says but it forgot to mention the gap between Switch and 160 million is also getting slimmer ;). There is no reason for me to be worried because of all the factors at play including the tariff situation. We have a Pokemon Presents next week which will certainly have Switch 1 games because thats what Pokémon ZA and Pokemon Champions are. We have Metroid possibly in September because I honestly cant think of where else to put it thanks to Kirby Airriders with no gameplay & Zelda AOI annouced for winter ie not September (summer). Pokemon ZA release in October will give a nice boost, Black Friday deals in November (last year was the first year Switch saw price cuts and it was limited to Walmart & Target), and ofcourse December is Christmas time with Switch being the cheapest platform. Early next year we have Mario movie 2 which should boost Mario games and guess which Switch has the most Mario games? Tomodochi Life and Rythm Heaven have been annouced for Switch 1 in 2026. Last but not least, you better pray that Pokemon leak implying next Pokemon is coming cross generational, you cant afford for Switch 1 to get another massive release from Nintendo, that leak was acknowledged by Nintendo and GameFreak. So no lol, there are too many variables to call it right now. Im not worried at all as I have expressed in my last posts.

Edit: That last part is hilarious coming from you, who in the world wants to deal with liars? Believe me buddy, neither one of us would last long if a button like that existed. The fact that you view yourself as a good poster is truly embarrassing and you continuing to fail to look in the mirror but your constant victim hood doesn't allow you to see yourself for who you truly are. 

This is your problem. You obviously take a gaming forum so serious that you make opinions and explaining personality of a random user in such a forum. You don't know me to talk about what I am or not. You hang onto 1 word and taking it out of context or when you don't have onto what to hang, twist and spin the wording into your favor with claims making absolutely no sense if you think about it. You are in one big movie here, with your "personality" talkings by the way, cuz again this is gaming forum to have fun and to rest from the work day, talking about games or sales or both, not entering into deep conversations of who is who and entering into your own movies that you have in your head. Others users have told you, and I did too.

On to your post. This is your real account, that's why you use at least one other account on here, and that's why when you got asked by multiple users what your real account before that was you didn't want to tell right ? And that's why you have chosen the profile to be invisible right ? All of this because you are honest ..

You even didn't got the point or you make yourself stupid on purpose.. with the next thing. You are afraid, cuz the only thing you have said it will happen so far since the creation of your xxx number of account is that Switch will beat the PS2. Over the time you haven't told any other predictions about that. Because you are afraid to jump the gun. Because you don't have balls, unlike many others here, and me included. I do them often cuz I am not afraid of going out and admit If I've been wrong about one. You are on the side bench, looking and verbally attacking, but not coming to the ring, so that there is not a chance of being wrong. And your only exception was that Switch will beat the PS2 and even at that you fail cuz barely after Switch passed 150M you started to lean backwards about how it may not happened or it's not sure. Again representing you not having balls and having fear. You burned me ? How can you burn me, with a lie ?

Speaking of lies, here is even one more you said just right here. "You are the one constantly making post in here and quoting others about how you agree with any stance of it not making it " Where have I posted the same comment as this "I agree" other than the last one you quoted without saying something else on the topic itself? I don't have one. But specially just for you I will continue doing it because I see you are happy from it no matter how pointless it is. You didn't just poked fun at me, you wanted to get a pointless conversation going again like you do from time to time, just like always. Why ? It's not very appropriate to tell here the real reason why .. but it's because of your mentality. Yea I am so hurt about the Switch, by making some very ambitious predictions right after the launch of the Switch 2 about it possibly passing the Switch 1 peak year in Japan in it's launch year, right? What a pointless claim. Again read what I wrote in the first paragraph here of this very post.

I am using VGChartz data, cuz firstly I use this site. As a user since 2009, I am a fan of it, and I believe in it's data. Other than this we also don't have other source of data for monthly (and until 2 years ago weekly) sales.I am using VGChartz data, cuz my comparisons are based on monthly (and 2 years ago weekly) sales. They are done for the people to watch, follow and enjoy, and as such, the sooner I can update them with new data, the better. Therefore VGChartz gives me that comfort, Shipments update over 3 months doesn't. Of course if VGChartz wasn't here (the only positive thing of that scenario would be not chatting with you) I would use shipments and update my work once per every 3 months since I wouldn't had a choice. But since I do, I am doing it as often as possible. Since I do the work very often (not only updates but adjustments sometimes too) I get to know very well how the sales are doing the last few months on the top of my head, and I don't need to check every time. Because of that it's way more easy for me to speak about sales rather then going and looking every time about the shipments and make analysis of data per 3 months , when I can see the smallest increments per month or even weeks with the VGChartz data, and therefore to make assumptions easier. And just for your point, I've occasionally speaked about shipments too (unlike your lie that you told just there), but how you can acknowledge that when you only cherry pick whatever works to your stupid point right ?

I will skip this next paragraph cuz it's really pointless. I will only say what I've already told on that matter. At that point in time Switch sales will receive little to no boost from software. If any, it won't make a dent in the 7M shipments difference that will be till that point, or the 8-9M sales difference. Also there is a reason to be worrying, and it shows. The fact that you go backwards from your initial stance on the matter, and talking how it's possible it won't make it and searching excuses such as tarrifs situation in the last few posts closing in on the Switch 2 launch, and after that, are a great prove for that. Even here you are saying again there are too many variables, so you are not so confident anymore mister "Big balls", mister "Man", mister "Honest", who doesn't go backwards. And the last paragraph you made I will just add to this one here. Look at who you are, before judging others. (by the way I added some more text to my previous post just right before you answered to my first version of the post, so go read that edited part too)
