When will the Switch pass 160M?

sure, its 160 because they said that is what it is. but also we still have to guess, because again, this number/announcement is the most ambiguous it could have possibly been. we still don't know for sure exactly what the number is. 

i understand 160 is the number we have to go by, but that doesn't make it true that this is the amount that was actually sold to customers. we just have to go by this because of the race we are currently in. 

Think positively! When Sony stopped counting PS2 numbers they were down to 600k shipped. They never announced a number lower than that, but they still had a whole nother fiscal year of sales. Nintendo already announced 550k shipped for the Switch. So they should at least have another FY of sales. The most funny thing for Nintendo to do at this point would be to combine Switch and Switch 2 numbers and then claim 161m for Switch.

Either way if Sony lied about PS2 numbers, then they also lied about PS3 numbers, and they lied to investors about the PS3 being down YoY. Now that would make the news!

Imagine the Switch 2's sales going down so hard (due to the price hike) that Nintendo pulls out a Sony and does exactly that, combining SW1's and SW2's sales numbers to deceive the investors.

Funny to picture this, although the likelihood of it happening being minimal. They were crystal clear when it came to the Wii U's sales, so they wouldn't do this now
