You may have said it somewhere, but I probably just missed it

How much do you think the Switch will sell LT?

 

Just purely out of curiosity, I won't argue with your predictions

It's too early for LT sales talk. I won't get that feel for another few months...I predicted that it would sell maybe 10- 12 by new years day 2018 and that's only because the gaming market is larger now then it was in 2012(wii U release)....I'm happy that its getting a good install base...but library needs to improve. I still feel that there is a 50-60 million or more world wide demand for gaming systems $220 and below that hasn't been filled yet and I don't see Nintendo's place there yet especially if the price of a ps4 and xbox1 comes down. I just don't see the appeal of Nintendo to the hardcore or casual gaming community just yet. Maybe more towards mobile..but that's a different bag of cats.

I haven't seen a lot of in-person hype at any gamestop, bestbuy, resale stores, Walmarts or other forums besides here. When I see no in-store hype i'm talking about multiple store across multiple cities multiple times of the month in cities like Chicago Indy Vegas, Detroit, Orlando. So if you think i'm just going down the street to my local gamestop and coming back an expert...sorry you are mistaken.   Most of the time the guys in the stores when asked about the switch are like..."yeah a lot of moms are buying them for their younger kids...and maybe a couple of hardcore NES fans"  But most people want to put 200 bucks towards a hand full of new ps4 games or xbox x. By this summer...well see what the resale prices are on the switches...that will tell you more then you would think.   Resale is where I knew the Wii U was gonna die to the week...the interest in used systems plummeted and after that you could tell by the way people talked casually in game stores of what was going down.

So LT <50M?
