FYI, this is until the end of the fiscal year 2022, so until March 31, 2023. And even if the Switch will be slightly under, it will still be very much in the ballpark of that prediction.

Ahhh, our first Nintendo Switch prediction that can be seen as genuinely overshot.
I'd consider 80-100 million a great success.
But 130? Yeah, even with Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Splatoon, Mario, Breath of the Wild, plus a ton of 3rd party, I'm doubtful about that.

U still sure?

130m is still within the realm of possibility by that cutoff, which is pretty impressive to say considering back in 2017 it seemed optimistic for Nintendo to set expectations at around 100m units.

I felt like I was pretty optimistic about the Switch back then, and felt like 100m would be tough but doable. I guess looking back the Wii U and 3DS made me more pessimistic than I should have been
