I don't see anyone predicting 100 million. People have been very conservative on their estimates.

I had, back in November XD

TY! I knew somebody has made a prediction thread like that before. Payback time from "Wii U will sell under 40M" thread? Ha, that will be funny!

No, I made that because I really believe it.Now, if it will turn out to be true or not, remains to be seen, but its at least on track!

I also believe that too. I am saying that will be funny that turns out that we are right and all people that mock you or predicted numbers way lower will look dumb when this thing bump hard in the future. The timing was perfect for the thread's creation.

They will need to make a Switch mini pro or something becuz no one doesnt want to play on a 720p handheld in 2023

Agreed,The Switch will do better than 3DS and Wii U sales + it will last longer than the wii U.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

That was a shot in the dark, considering how many important pieces of the puzzle were still missing back then.

1. First party lineup
2. Third party games
3. Price
4. Hardware features (things like motion control and SL/SR buttons weren't shown in the teaser)
5. Battery life

There was certainly reason to have a positive outlook for Nintendo based on their recent moves, but ultimately everything would depend on the Switch being a good product in and of itself. The five factors listed above being unknowns at the time meant that it was still up in the air how the console would fare. Your thread is one of the few occasions that I bothered to comment on sales prospects for Switch in the timeframe between Switch teaser and January presentation, because it was lots of speculation while good information wasn't far away anymore.

However, the Switch teaser at least showed how the console looks, so there is some substance. I'll add a link to your thread to my ongoing megathread. Anfebious will get an add as well.

Oh yeah, it definely were.I even acknoledged that in the first paragraph.However, that first teaser was a telling sign on how they would treat the Switch overall.Nobody could be sure about the specifics, such as the points you just wrote, but given how good Nintendo had been in those last few months leadind up to the end of the year(in relations to pretty much everything outside the Wii U) and how well excecuted that trailer was(and also assuming that would be the tone going foward), I felt confident in making that thread.

And what is this megathread of yours?Is it to accompany every prediction positive or negative to have a reckoning in the future?

Prediction; no it won't.
