He’s predicting the switch to sell 27 millions this year. Without any price cut or new revision... |
This is why sometimes I don't even know why I bother commenting here, obviously a lot of users here don't use their brains, or are running on wishful thinking and not logic. There is no way, short of a huge price drop and games sales that could make the switch sell 54 million in 2 years. Nintendo consoles always sells mostly to the fans in the first year, Nintendo doesn't have the broad appeal of playstation, in fact most people I know do not even like Nintendo games, many gamers do not like colourful kid friendly games, and lets be honest, games like Mario are mostly for kids, if you really think about the story and the characters.
The biggest Nintendo base is kids, and parents who buy them the consoles and games. Just like the 3ds, no adult would be seen out of the house playing a 3ds, very rare, but I saw kids almost daily with a 3ds.
Portable gaming is less desired now than 10 years back, mobile phones are reaching the power of the switch, or even surpassed it, so most people who want a quick game to kill the time would just pick up their phones and not take a second device which doesn't even fit in one's pocket.
Surely is nice to be able to play massive games on the go, in theory, but who really has time to play 2 or 3 hours straight on a train or on a break? No one. Most people have like 30min to kill at one point, so mobile phones are more convenient.
The only time I ever took my switch out of the house was when I was flying. So like, 12 hours per year, not worth having such an expensive portable just for that.
I don't know about US, but here in the UK its very very rare to see anyone with a portable console, and back in Portugal it just doesn't happen at all, even kids are choosing tablets over portable consoles, because you can do so much more on a tablet, like youtube, facebook, etc. Mostly because kids do not have 70 dollars to be buying a new game.
