Forums - Gaming Discussion - Master analyst, Michael Pachter, predicts that Switch will not sell near Wii.

I'll bet $50 to charity that Switch will not outsell the Wii. Any takers?

Well he has a 50-50 shot at getting it right lol.

but it is an obvious thing. Unless something drastically changes to make the Switch more appealing game wise it will flatten out once the big Nintendo hitters all come out.



 

 

This thread will be a nice necro later on either way. I agree with pachter on that because it's a safe bet.

2 - after the initial release with come good games there is a drought.

Respectfully disagree. There's one bigger first party release pretty much every month, indies and third parties in between them and there will be until the end of the year. While we know of a few games for 2018, more can be announced in a matter of months before release just like most of the games we are anticipating right now. This is one of Nintendo's best launch years in terms of software IMO.

Does he EVER shut up? -_-

He will shut up as soon as people stop posting in Pachter threads.

No shit.



Duh.



if people say ps4 can do it the switch definetly can.



If Patcher says Switch will not sell near the Wii...

Then it's all but confirmed that Switch will match/exceed the Wii's sales. ;)

If it's on the market like every other Nintendo console (~5 years) then no. Won't get close.
