Why would you think that? The lineup is stronger in the second half of the year then the first

2017 had 4 "big" selling titles: Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, and Splatoon 2. Hardware is still selling into 2018 because of the momentum from these 4 games. That momentum is going to gradually wear off. The only "big" title this year is Smash Bros. Smash can move hardware, but it is still only one title. Last year's line up was really a lot stronger than this year's.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

I disagree, but this is one of those "we have to wait and see moment".

Whoa 23 million SOLD through......now that is a bold prediction.....even with the current start(which is not bad at all) do you still think it will hit 23 million SOLD THROUGH? And what are you basing such a bold and huge prediction off of to cause the sales to spike THAT much?
I am thinking between 15-17.5 mil.
The absence of evidence is NOT the evidence of absence...
PSN: StlUzumaki23
18-20M
16M as a bare minimum only if cryptomining-related horrible RAM prices remain horrible enough to make Ninty decide to pospone a larger production boost and the first NS price cut.
16 mil due to a lackluster game lineup. I'm not expecting Labo to sell systems.
I think that anywhere between 15-20 million units is a fair prediction. There's a lot of hype around Smash, Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Metroid right now; delivering on those titles will be a key factor in driving more sales. (Although for me at least it's unclear if any of those games besides maybe smash bros will be out this year.) Nintendo also needs to clear away the uncertainty over their online services and launch their virtual console already.
I'm not too worried about a lack of content this year though, there's a string of great 3rd party and indie titles lined up at least. We've also already got a Kirby and a Yoshi game to start off the year which is nice. They can also continue to port over Wii U or even Wii games to keep a steady stream of first party content coming. Personally I would love to see something along the lines of a Zelda HD collections with Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and possibly Skyward Sword bundled together.

No. The Swith isn't the dark side. That title belongs tp sony being that every console they released since after the OG PS1 was black. Get your references in order damn it.
And to OP
25M+
This way whatever it does I can come say it didn't meet my expectations.
For the record I have the PS4 pegged to sell more than 7M in 2018.
And no. I am not biased at all.
