Forums - Sales Discussion - Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Oh, I remember this thread. How much things change in so little time...



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Come join The 2018 Obscure Game Monthly Review Thread.

Switch will pass the Wii by the end of the 2021 holiday season lol



"Next Nintendo hardware: I think Nintendo won't bring us a surprise hit like the Wii anymore, the next Nintendo console will sell typical Nintendo numbers (20M-50M) and won't be a danger for the PSP."

There are so many wrong things in that sentence...

We are now at the point where not even the biggest doubters should have any doubt left. Nintendo announced in their most recent fiscal report that Switch has reached 79.87m by December 31st 2020, so this means we are only one quarter away from making it official.

At the time this prediction was made, there was already sufficient sales data for the 3DS, Xbox One, Vita and Wii U to safely conclude that none of them would sell more than the PSP. Switch was the first eligible console to prove the prediction wrong and that's exactly what it did.

Yep, safe to assume it will do it. Sadly I think the OP is gone and we will never get "I was wrong".

Only 3 Nintendo consoles sold in that 20M-50M range (Gamecube, N64, SNES) and all others below (WiiU) or far above (literally all handhelds, the NES and the Wii). That's 6 out of 10 consoles before the Switch that sold more than typical.

Not only do I think the Switch will outsell it, (and by a comfortable margin too)

But depending on its legs, the 3DS might even have a chance.

2/3 ain’t bad.



All these "Switch will fail/Switch won't be THAT successful" threads are an absolute crow mine!

Thank you @RolStoppable Bringer of chuckles from the past. This prediction has aged worse than Gamestop stock...

Not bad since you were right..... for about 6 years.



Pocky Lover Boy! 

What will be his punishment for being wrong?
