No, I never said that Nintendo would be lucky to sell 12 million a year, I said they'd be happy if the Switch averages 12 million a year. Answer me this, do you honestly think Nintendo expects the Switch to sell more than 15 million a year average for the life of the Switch? Or better yet, how many Switches do you believe Nintendo will sell?

An upgraded dock in the near future with upgraded horsepower isn't possible considering the Switch's operating modes. The dock does nothing more than enable a high performance mode on the switch, it does not provide additional power itself.

No clue, hard to make a sales prediction when we have no idea what the price will be, how well the marketing is, how well they execute the hybrid concept, what games are at launch and beyond, did they make improvements to their online services & account systems, how is the battery life, is it region free, does it have their own take on achievements, will My Nintendo be improved, will their future mobile titles have a Pokemon Go effect that moves hardware, will their new business ventures like theme park attractions and theatrical releases bring attention to their gaming business, etc?

Way too many variables, I think Switch has potential to surpass sales of 3DS+Wii U with proper execution, however I also believe it has potential to do worse than 3DS+Wii U if they mess up on multiple of the points listed above. It will be much easier to make a prediction after the full reveal.

Just one week left to go!!!!!

Even if they were to release a dock that added significant processing power, I dont really see what the point would be. If its a huge increase than it just seems like games targeted for it would run like shit or not at all when undocked which really defeats the purpose of the overall concept.

So basically all it would do is make existing games look a little bit better, which the current dock already does. It seems like in order to get any meaningful gains, you would have to increase the power of the base unit as well, which i suppose is possible with a NEW Switch style upgrade.

Thanks for the title complement. Yes, even though Nintendo says the Switch is a home console, everyone knows its a portable gaming system that docks to a TV. Everything about the Switch confirms it is a gaming tablet. The battery, the screen, the lower computational power, the games on small cartridges, the small form factor. Someone needs to tell Nintendo that the Switch is not a home console. They are being delusional and as a Nintendo fan I am embarrassed by it.

The only reason Nintendo led with that "new home console" rubbish is because they didn't want to jeopardise 3DS's last big holiday season by telling people its replacement was just around the corner. It's a portable with TV connectivity, anyone who says otherwise is in denial, frankly.
