Forums - Nintendo Discussion - The reason the switch is barely starting and sales will explode next few years +250m LTD

There is one big thing you guys are forgetting about that will threaten the Switch quite a bit. The next Xbox and PS5, Switch can't hope to run the games that will be made for the next gen, it'll be a WiiU scenario again from third party support perspective when that happens. I believe Switch is good enought on its own to have some exclusive third party titles and Nint games are great but I think there's a cealling to it's growth that is directly dependant on how soon the next generation starts.

This looks like a focus on boxing only so no true wii fit

I tried the demo. The focus is on calories, workout and stuff like that. You don't box against an enemy, but instead try to punch and jab at the right time like a rhythm game, It secures every session that you control your posture and breathing. You're guided through the session, which has a length according to your weight loss goals. It's fitness/workout, not boxing, believe me.

I’d be more interested in another Health Pack/Wii Fit game with some kind of adventure mode.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Yes it can.

Just look at how games in 4K still struggle with Ultra settings on PC, and yet also run at least on an XBO. Next gen won't be quite as powerful as a high-end PCs of today (I expect something with similar performance to a Vega 56 + Ryzen 5 2600 combo, more than that will probably heat up too much even in 7nm) and still the current gen will continue to get fed the same games as the next gen for a couple years at the very least, and by extension so can the Switch - especially if it gets an upgrade down the road which would bring it close to XBO performance.

2019 will be Switch's biggest year, just going based off its current known lineup alone.

Do you mean of all time or just so far?

I think 2019 potentially,barring any delays into 2020, will have a better line up than both 2017 and 2018

So it is a joke thread, wasn't sure before.

Ye that's insanity, specialy because its very likely that 2020 will be new Xbox and PS5 launch year. I mean guys, Switch will be great (it is great already) but curb you enthusiasm a bit.

Or maybe this is the case

This is probably a joke thread, but when you look at it... Switch shipped ~17m on its first year, will ship at the very least ~18m this current year, and with everything that's coming next year, I can't see it shipping less than on the current one, so we're probably looking at a 20m+ year in 2019, unless major games get delayed to 2020.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
