Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

I'm guessing 400,000 first week. No need to get hopes up.

Dang Salnax you nailed it. Good Job!

Edit: I way overshot on my prediction of 800K lol. Oh well, decent enough numbers for the Wii U.

Does this # include all of the Americas ( Canada) of is it just the USA?

I'm an advocate for motion controls, Nintendo, and Kicking freaking Toad to the Moon!

Actual sales aren't bad, but it seems peoples expectations were a bit much (outside of a few).

And snuggle the girls be they short or tall,
Then follow young Mat whenever he calls,
To dance with Jak o' the Shadows."

Those look like solid numbers to me. It topped the 360 and PS3's launch numbers despite being released in the aftermath of a recession and being more expensive than the Wii.

I'm not getting a Wii U, but people need to take their fanboy blinders off on this.
