Forums - Nintendo - Rumor/Speculation/Conjecture - The NSwitch will outsell the WiiU the 1st year.

So you are basically saying that Nintendo Switch will sell in it's first year more than 13.5M?
Nope, not going to happen.

Hype? Ive seen no hype aside from on here. When the PS4 and X1 were announced I saw it all over facebook. If I didnt come here then I wouldnt know it existed.

Almost 19 million views and 490.000 likes in 9 days. I think it's fair to say there's a bit of hype for this console.

Maybe you saw PS4 and X1 news all over Facebook because you're a Sony fan...

I saw Switch articles appear in my news feed from my national newspapers, The Japanese Times, Zelda Informer and more.

There is no way to make any kind of real estimate without pricing info. Right now, we're just guessing.



If you are being optimistic, you should be predicting 10 million in its first year. Very few consoles have done that. Predicting 14 million is just setting yourself up for disappointment.



Wii U after launch and 1st calendar yr hit 5.86 mil, 3DS launch to 12/31 hit 15 mil . A lot depends on price & sw available- but just basing off hype level and overall product desirability, I'd safely predict somewhere in between, at least 8-9 mil by 12-31.
