Hohooo, yes it will. Yoshi may not move much units when it drops in late March. But the baseline should maintain its level with a few drops here and there until Mario Maker 2 comes out. Then, with Three Houses & Dragon Quest XI S one month later, this summer should be quite the increase of last summer. As for your second question, the 3DS' best year, according to VGC, was close to 5.5 million in 2012. That's a BIG year and even with the Switch's current lineup planned for this year, it will be very difficult/highly unlikely to reach those levels. But, I expect the Switch to start noticeably closing the gap on the 3DS in 2020 regardless. |
Somehow, I was under the impression the 4.88M of 2013 was it's best year. I agree 5.5M is just too much, 4.8M seems much more achievable by now.
I mean, Dragon Quest, Pokemon and Animal Crossing coming out in the same year? Plus a plethora of other games? Looks to me like the switch will be on fire starting summer and then go straight to ludicrous speed in fall when the 3 big ones will release.
