I want a switch, but I want a switch/3ds hybrid more. I am hoping that nintendo has some magic up their sleeves come E3. If not, I think we will be getting a switch this holiday season.
It should sell 8-10 million by the end of the year - whether that's successful depends on the expectations.

When the crow thread is made after the crazy high sales continue month after month this needs to be the centerpiece of the posts.
Well to be fair, that thread was timed directly after the presentation that many felt disappointed by, so predictions were likely going to skew low (Wii U tier was still unexplicable, of course). I myself predicted 40 million directly after the presentation, but I now feel it will go much higher (75-90 million).
Switch is over 150 times stronger than a N3DS, They could make an emulator I guess but they won'tto prevent caniballising sales on their 3rd pillar˜never say never - We are getting Shenmue3
Although me personally and friends of mine stopped buying 3ds-wiiu games and focus on Switch releases
Why not... I can hope. No matter how unrealistic that hope is.Are you expecting them to announce new HW three months after the launch of the Switch or with magic you refer to great Switch SW?

So when does the stock market open cos Nintys share price is gonna give big returns if you buy early tomorrow.
Why is that fair? What has changed that wasn't presented at the reveal? and the Switch will do well won't break 60 million unless Pokomon purchasers go crazy. I predict lifetime 40 million - which should still be okay for Nintendo.
The main issue with the presentation was all of the rumors beforehand talking about a huge amount of titles (and a price of $250) which weren't shown. So the huge letdown after the presentation had to do more with expectations rather than what was actually shown.
So after time as the actual information from the presentation set in it seemed like a much better showing. At least that's how I saw it.

NTDOY opened at 9:30 am EDT about 3.5% down, I already bought me some more!

Honestly, arguing exactly how much it will do at the end of its lifetime is pretty useless imo, because as good as the initial sales are, you can't extrapolate whether that means 40 or 100 million lifetime just yet. We need more time before we can sensibly discuss 2018-202X.
Yeah and for them to sustain this momentum, software quality and on-time releases MUST happen. Right now people don't notice the lack of VC, apps, and games simply because BOTW is such a long adventure.
However...
I say that because I am also concerned with how low the WiiU BOTW sales are (1m?). "But wasnt it a limited release on an obselete system?". Sure, maybe. But if you are one of the 13m WiiU owners, and say all 2m Switch Zelda buyers were formerly on WiiU but instead bought BOTW on their fancy new Switch, that means only 1m copies of BOTW sold per approximately 10m WiiU owners. 10%. Wouldn't a 25% attach rate be more normal for such a huge flagship game?
Point is, we still don't have a clear picture if current Switch adopters are merely WiiU owners (aka hardcore nintendo fans) moving onto the next hardware. And why aren't those existing WiiU owners, who don't own a Switch, buying BOTW?
Still too early to call anyone wrong about the success of this.
Mario on PS4 within six months.
There's no way Nintendo can handle this sort of success.
It's the smugness that makes it so good.
Summer will be the best sale period for Switch
Belive
Console quality while traveling is too impressive to pass on
As we age into our late 20's and 30's, we're straying further and further from Nintendo's target demo meaning, without using personal bias on what we care about in an ideal console is generally not what the younger generation we are becoming detached from cares about. If that makes sense.
It's smart of them to get Minecraft out right as school is letting out. Full-ass console Minecraft on the go, with local multiplayer is a pretty good 'shut the hell up' machine for long car rides.spot on right here. nintendo, families, summer, travelling, strongest handheld ever released, top priority for the company (sorry vita). This thing is going to blow up even more by the start of summer.. just in time for splatoon 2.
You saw Skyward Sword sales figures right? And Twilight Princess? An definitely not 25%

My experience, and something a lot of people might have underestimated, is that it's strongest point is that you can easily play it with friends on the go. And if those friends like what they play - there is a slight chance they'll get their own system to play it with their other friends.
I'm not even looking at the Wii sales numbers anymore: I think it's going to outsell the DS.I posted this in the other thread but I'm gonna make a very big claim. The Switch will surpass the Wii and then some when all is said and done.
The reasons are the following: We are truly in the age that visual fidelity is good enough across all platforms + Nintendo's one console to rule them all + first seamless hybrid nature like what Arlo pointed out.
There are games that can never be done on the Switch but it won''t be the wide gulf like it was for the Wii vs PS3/360. I expect most yearly releases (Fifa, COD) to come to it eventually, even if third parties have to do it kicking and screaming. They'll have no choice.
Now make the 3DS kick rocks so all of its games can be forced to come to Switch
