Sounds like a lot of the Wii U would hit over 100 million, beat x1 easily, etc predictions. How about waiting a year before making insane predictions



Everyone is allowed to dream.



I have my doubts it'll hit 30 million

What's your reasoning for that? All of the main Nintendo handhelds have sold more than that.

Back in March my prediction was 90-100 million, but in recent weeks I've been feeling pretty ballsy for the Switch.

I believe Switch will sell 125-135 million by the end of 2024.

So, that'd equal around 15.625m to 16.875m per year.

Well I think it's really the third party support and the online infrastructure.... it can't really compete with ps4.... unless Mario ends up being a zelda quality ip.... it's all about games and zelda is the reason switch is even selling today

Personally I don't feel confident enough in my crystal ball-gazing skills to draw conclusions about the sales of a specific product 5-6 years in the future.

But I do feel confident enough in my number-reading skills to state pretty definitively that the Switch is on pace to beat the 3DS's first calendar year sales of some 13 million. If Nintendo can keep that up for 5-6 years then 100 mil is certainly within their grasp.



Switch will sell 100 millions

At least wait until it beat the Xone (when it's 40 millions, end of 2019 if it happen) before making these topics.

It will already be hard to sell more then 45 millions.
