Tears of the Kingdom, 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Switch Sports, Splatoon 3, and Mario Party Superstars should all join the 10 million plus club by the end of their run.
Pokemon Scarlet/Violet's already there too.

Currently, there's not exactly an abundance of announced games still to come for the Switch, but if past patterns are any indication, there are likely still major releases for next year we don't know about yet. A new Donkey Kong or a 2D Mario for instance could be another 10 million plus seller.

MK8 being second with the sales on NS alone is insane consider it has another 8m sales on another platform.

VG's latest numbers has the NS leapfrog the PS4 and become the fourth best selling platform in history.

Odds MK8 + MK8D outsell Wii Sports?

And I'm just highlighting that the pessimism was there and like you said that 80 million had to go somewhere but at that time we had seen it shrink from around 220million to that 80 million figure so whether or not the Switch would stabilise that trend was up in the air.

80m would be an significant increase following Wii U which is the point when you add 3DS and Vita sales you have 90m so 3DS numbers alone was always the reasonable minimum especially as a hybrid device would benefit from games like mainline Pokemon which home consoles never got. The only way for such a decline would be for the portable market to literally crash as it was clear at that point Mobile was never replacing traditional and when you have a monopoly on a market the market itself has to crash as the monopoly is the stability.

I get what your saying, but again no one was saying that the market was going to crash, but like I have repeatedly said we were replying to trunks and referencing the attitude of the times and the rest was about why it was one of pessimism not it's validity,  now unless you disagree with the fact that there was a lot of pessimism at that time then we a have nothing to argue about and lets call it a day cheers.👌

PS1 sold 962 million software and PS3 1 billion, so Switch should pass both of them this quarter.

I can't find software totals for the Xbox consoles, anyone have those?

PS1 962 million software sales 9.62 Billion blank cd's sold.😊

Unlikely. 

They're at around 57 million combined now, so MK8D would need to sell another 26 million.

I guess the only chance is if the Switch becomes the best-selling console of all time.
