I originally predicted 80-100 million, but if this keeps up, I may have to raise the floor and ceiling of that prediction.

Welp, here I go:

110-130 million.

I don't think we'll need to wait that long to prove that projection will be invalid.

Well, beginning of 2018 Nintendo will hit by Ransomware which deletes all code, also most workers are hit by a strong version of the flu. Nintendo does not recover and has to close gates three months later. In that scenario he still could end up right.

So, the Ransonware didn't happened, neither Nintendo closing doors, but about that flu...

Too early to predict. 30-70 Million.

Your 100 million prediction is very unlikely, the Switch isn't going to be on the same level as the PS4.

This is why one doesn't predict, unless you're a man, like T-bone. 

Also, where is the poll? 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

LOL!  He gave himself a huge range where the max is more than twice the min.  In spite of that he was still nowhere close. This is a great find.  At least he was right about Switch and PS4 not being on the same level.

I don't have time to look through this thread now, but I bet there are some great posts in here.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Well, the second one was spot-on.

Are Nintendo fans really this insecure about the success of the Switch? I mean I get for the first couple of years it's great to go back and look at how wrong people were about the system. Sony guys did the same with the PS4, as many predicted it wouldn't hit 100M and would be a failure since the Wii's successor failed so miserably. But, it gets old quick, even when you're on the winning team. We're 4 years in and it feels like every couple of months we're still necroing threads.
