Ah yes, one of these old threads that were filled with hamster posts.

As for the topic itself, 80m turned out to be a low hurdle.

You were at least one that believed that 80 plus million would easily be achieved, many others were lowering the bar.  Well done.

People like Quickrick, Lawlight & Potatohamster being gone has made this site so much more boring.

It's like the irrational drama has fallen off a cliff.

My Bet With curl-6

Seems like interest in the Nintendo brand is still very high.
Gotta say these discussions on these old threads are really interesting. So many ignorant people.

Yep lol there is just something so entertaining about people talking out of their asses and making nonsense predictions based on their personal opinion of a company rather than any sort of data, on a website dedicated to data.

Yep I do wonder what Quickrick would've said in response to the Switch taking off in 2020. While too much of it is bad a bit of ridiculousness can add a lot of entertainment value.

Clearly those sales don’t count because of the pandemic. People were forced to buy a video game console they didn’t want because everything was shut down.

Exactly. It's still only at about 50m so there's no way it's gonna reach the 3DS let alone the Wii at this point.

I made a record of some of his greatest hits for my own amusement back in the old days. A few I noted down:

- Switch won't win any NPD in 2018
- Smash Ultimate will sell 8-10 million lifetime (Currently at 28.17m)
- Pokémon Let's Go will sell 6-8 million lifetime (Currently at 14.53m)

And of course, the Granddaddy of them all:
- Switch will fall of a cliff in 2018
