Since many people are adjusting, I will be resetting the poll once the quarter report is released, 2 weeks from now.

Nintendo should release Switch 2 Pro in 4 years. Later, I expect Switch 2 Tablet version to be released to increase the sales and reach people who want a productivity device that can be used for gaming too at the price of $799. If Nintendo executes this well they can sell 160M+ Switch 2 devices.
Im expecting around the 130M range. I think the primary thing that's gonna keep it from getting to Switch 1 numbers in the price. 500$ is not an easy or accessible entry price point anymore for less casual gamers to pick it up as much as Switch 1.
Also, some Switch 1 owners might feel content with the hybrid concept of Switch 1 and not feel the need to upgrade
Switch 1 had the novelty factor advantage

It's a bit hard to say as most of Nintendo's big hitters are still absent from the system, so we don't know how well they perform on the Switch 2. But I do expect many people waiting for them before buying a Switch 2, so I think it has a lot of potential to at least do 120M+

115M is right around what I expect, but since I have to choose I will pick over rather than under.
