Yes, that comment I did. but saying that I can see a very likely scenario isn't a prediction. if so then saying I can't see it doing more than 3M also should be a prediction from your logic, and changing it just hours or day later does not make sense. I remember that before the data for 2024 started to go up I said 2M, and when I saw it doing decently I put the range to 3M, and again at that point in time pretty much everyone including me expected release of Switch 2 in 2024. Therefore knowing successor is releasing even sales as 2M is not so unreasonable or pessimistic, coming from 3.9M the previous year. And this is not excuse as you are always calling it, I am simply saying it's not low ball cuz if you know successor is coming (and if really did in 2024) I guarantee you the sales wouldn't be and can't be 3M or close to it. They would drop to at least 2.5M or 2M. But yea to answer you question, I am not denying that I saw it as likely scenario and I even wrote it somewhere, but putting DS's year comparison at almost 3M for the whole year, since the start, means that I saw it way more likely doing something close to 3M in the end, instead of 2M.

Ooh and about that debate you remember how it ended ? You apologising to me since you haven't seen my comment about adjusting my initial prediction for last year (which I haven't denied) to 4M ? And doing whole full debate out of this just because you didn't wrote your homework ..

So the poster was right and you initially said 2 million. It's ok buddy! That's all we needed here. 

I am looking out for our next debate with you. It's like a morning fresh to me

Ooooh sorry .. pardon me, I must have lost my sence of humour, since exchanging posts with @Phenomajp13 .

Yep, I remember that, and I remember your comment on that too. I just made a post about it haha.

Well for the new year - 2025, here is it saying it in my thread, I expect to finish in the range of 1.5M to 2M. Hope this not looks pessimistic or lowballing to @Phenomajp13 

No problem.
In regards to 2025, a lot rides on when exactly Nintendo announces and releases Switch 2. I'm thinking they'll do a Jan/Feb announcement then a release in summer and the Switch will do 1.5 million for the year. But if they don't release until holiday it could do 2 million. I don't think they'll wait that long so I'd favor the lower total, but 1.5-2 million is a good range.

Hey!! Acording to firebush03 Nintendo has already announced the Switch "2" officially!!😅 The current Switch will sell much more than 1,5 million in 2025!! 1,5 million? I am expecting at least 1- 2 million in 2026!!

Oh, I was talking about Japan only. Worldwide, it's tough to call but I'll venture to say 6-7M with a summer release and 7-8M with a holiday release for 2025.

Switch will have the bonus of getting Pokemon Legends Z-A next year, which will be the biggest release in the Japanese market next year, that should keep the Switch legs fairly steady in Japan at least.
