lol the "cope" stuff is funny everyone including you knows damn well the Switch would wipe the floor with 160 mill easy if it had any kind of normal year end cycle that any of the successful 90s/2000s consoles had, like a price cut (or two or three or four price cuts like the PS2 needed). 

If you give the Switch even one price cut and let it sell for 12 years it would hit 165+ million without much fuss. 

Gotta agree with Soundwave here. Nintendo is literally trying to make Switch 1 look less enticing so as to shore consumers to the new NS2 ecosystem. If Nintendo actually let the Switch survive, it would easily clear 160mil. 

Because no one can make a sane case for that. If the Switch 1 had even one price cut it could pass 160 mill easily. EASILY. Everyone knows this too. In virtually any other console generation (Gen 1, gen 2, gen 3, gen 4, gen 5, whatever) the Switch 1 would be $249.99 for the base model, $299.99 for OLED, and $169.99 for the Lite at least and that's still a modest price cut compared to other platforms often being 1/3 to 1/2 the cost by the late stages of their product cycle.
