Pretty much. Kojima has said as much himself. Sadly they are, they are just continuations of the the PS4 PRO and X1X. Only difference is they have exclusive games and the controllers are different. I was gonna make a thread on this but it'll ruffle feathers.  The age of true successors of over, now it's just slight improvments. When I got a PS5 my first thought was, oh it's a better, upgraded PS4 PRO, doesn't matter about the power cause devs can't make that work. If Kojima and Co can not find the juice in the machine and calls it basically the same machine as a base ps4 then yurr, it's not a gen leap. 

Well, I guess slow to a crawl may be quoted but I'll relent and give praise as soon as the Switch 2 passes the mid twenties and shows no sign of slowing and if it makes it to the mid 30s with no sign of slowing I will revel in the hype to see how far it can get. I do hope for 70 million despite my "prediction". 

@Mar1217 's  take is pretty spot on.  You are unlikely to be able to hold a candle to QuickRick and that is a good thing.  Your post just gave off a similar vibe so I pointed it out given the nature of the thread.

Can we remake this thread but we all make predictions and look back on them in time to see if they become Hilariously wrong or not. Many will laugh but I predict the Switch 2 to be a Wii U sort of deal, not as bad, Nintendo will make their money and they still have 150+ million switches to sell games on. They aren't loosing much in this as they can still sell Switch 1s cause the Switch 2 is simply a PRO console for all intents, they have designed it so they can't fail even if it fails despite the "2" in the name. I predict less than 40 million LT, I wanna say 30 million but I'll be cut it down the middle at go 35 million. It'll sell right out the gate like the Wii U and get over 20 million fairly fast but given all the conditions It'll slow and then It'll slow to a crawl. Parent will not buy this thing, Kids will still be on Switch 1. We will not see hardware price reduction in the lifetime of this system or at least the vast majority of it, we'll be lucky if the price does not go up and it just might. That said, Switches will still sell.

Legit, you’re misunderstanding. The point of this thread wasn’t to create hilariously wrong predictions, it was to give examples of hilariously wrong predictions from the past. /s (If XBSXS can sell 30mil, then NSW2 will at least hit 60mil in the catastrophically worst case scenario. Nintendo has software, whereas the others have been lacking. Nintendo has the strongest word-of-mouth of the three.)

2017 saw a lot of Switch 1 predictions that have aged like milk, with the console forecasted to flop

Also here in the forums. I can remember some guys expecting a bigger flop than the Wii U. I just can't find the threads anymore...

Lots of folks in this one claiming it will flop hard:

As for Quickrick, he's actually one alt of a serial troll who has been making accounts here to shit on Nintendo since at least 2013; zeldaring and ninjablade are two of his other alts, he's made like 10 in total over the years.
