Shipment numbers should pass DS second quarter next year (so by end of June), and actual sales will definitely have passed it by end of 2025, maybe even during the third quarter. I'd expect sales to hit 155m by end of 2025.

No longer a matter of “if”, but rather “when”. I’d say by June 30th, 2025…unless they slash NSW price, then March 31st, 2025.
As of this writing (no new Switch model, price drop, etc) I voted for by the end of June (shipment numbers).
Officially out-shipping: Probably Nintendo's End of June 2025 report. Could slip until next quarter if sales slow down enough.
Out-selling: Definitely by/during the holiday 2025.
I think imma be on the more pessimistic side and say the end of 2025. I'm thinking the Switch will sell around 10M for the fiscal year ending in March 2025 which would put the Switch at around 151-152M by March. The next I'm expecting a 2M Q2, 4.5M Holiday Q, and 1.5M Q4 ending March 2025. I just find it hard to see Switch having another big holiday quarter bigger than 5M.

Nice job with the poll! I feel like this is the best bell-curve I've ever seen on a VGC poll.
Playing Xenoblade 2 before I buy Xenoblade 3 (otherwise I couldn't wait to play 3).
Can they announce a new Fire Emblem? A remake of Genealogy or Tellius would suffice !
I'm going to say Q4 2025 but it could happen as early as late Q2 to mid Q3 2025.

So after the recent quarter results came in, I'm now thinking my initial prediction of Switch outselling DS by end of 2025 was too pessimistic, I now think it will do it by summer of 2025. Selling 2.6 Million in a quarter with not a massive title and only 10% down YoY was much better than I expected.
Have a feeling that the switch will just kill it this holiday and thinking it will beat the DS shortly after March next year.
