8M for the first year. If no price cut by the of next year and droughts between first party games than 29M LT. But if we get all that, then 44M LT



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

I said in another thread 40-60 million so I'll go with 50 million here.



Oh & you want a number? Here's one for you: 12 million Switch sold by December 31, 2017.
Here's another: 35 million Switch sold by December 31, 2018.
Here's one more: 60 million Switch sold by December 31, 2019.
And one more for the road: 240 million LIFETIME Switch sales.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

This seems to be the standard consensus range. I'd agree with this. 

To go higher I need to see something actually *new* that is a game changer, you don't get to say 100 million by basically just utilizing old ideas unless you are Sony and you have 110% support from developers. 

Nintendo franchises alone don't get you to 100 million neither does HD Rumble and Ice cubes doesn't cut it.



If it true is a combination of home and handheld consoles then 40-50 million, if it's just a home console which can be portable than it wont reach 20 million.

Man, oh man, how I want to hear JL's opinion on the Switch. Then again, we already know the answer. I wonder if he's spouting nonsense in another forum nowadays?



Hard to guess. I think 6M first year, 60M LT. 



Tagging.

Im not predicting, just reading :)



40m if batteries start exploding.

100m+ if they don't



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

"Nonsense"?! I think you mean "measured analysis."

The most recent thing I've seen from him is this TWO HOUR AND FORTY FIVE MINUTE debate/lecture/alternate history workshop from December 2015.
