If the switch can hit its forecast for fiscal year ending march 2026 and it can just sell half the amount every year that will mean it will pass a certain console in... well lets see

2027: 156.12 + 2 = 158.12
2028: 158.12 + 1 = 159.12
2029: 159.12 + 0.5 = 159.62
2030: 159.62 + 0.25 = 159.87
2031: 159.87 + 0.125 = 159.995
2032: 159.995 + 0.0625 = 160.0575

Itll take until 2032. Thats not even that long from now. So all nintendo needs to do is sell half they did the previous year for the next 6 years and its guaranteed

With all of these the point that someone (I found him, it was @Soundwave) made about marathon vs sprint, will be killed. It won't be no more " for 8 years Switch sold so much more " cuz by the time Switch reaches the other console, it will be 15 years vs 13 years lifespan. Or switch will have sold about 150k less units for the same time of 13 years .. It then can even be "switched" vice versa, and to tell that for 13 years, the other console sold 150k more units than the Switch and Switch needed 2 more years to get there.
