That comment is so 2017!

Impossible, there will be a switch 2 way before that.

Lol. 4 years later and we were all so wrong.

We were either all agreeing that there was no chance it reaches 150M (Many of our reasoning being the Switch won't have that same mass appeal to DS/PS2 did due to smartphones taking over)

While others said the only way it could be even remotely possible is if Nintendo makes the Switch dirt cheap and releases a ton of new models.

Looking back now 4.5 years later the Switch is going to hit 150M without a single price cut, which is pretty insane and never in our wildest theories did we think it was possible.

no way did you just perfectly predict this.

Some of these comments aged like sour milk.

This is a very fun read in 2024.
Around 3/4 of voters said it wouldn't reach 150m, with the most popular option being 110m, lmao

This thread is great because of how recent it is.  We were watching Switches fly off the shelves due to COVID, but I think the reasoning of most posters at the time is that COVID would have a small sales blip with Switch sales returning to 2019 levels shortly thereafter.

In reality Switch was still on an upward trajectory, and COVID gave it an even bigger boost while on that upward trajectory.

I voted yes but my reasoning was a bit off.

It didn't get any great new models (calling OLED great is a stretch) or any price cuts (though I kinda expected that), but it did however get an 8 year lifespan from how things are looking right now.

I don't blame anybody for not predicting just how bonkers 2020 (and 2021) would be back in april though, we had probably only just gotten the crazy Animal Crossing march numbers.
