Yeah im saying wrong but you get it. Its not impossible. I just dont get why some people (not from here only) think switch needs to sell X amount (mostly 3ds+wiiu combined).
I dont think nintendo will be mad if the thing sells 40mil+ for ex. Its too early to tell. I have a prediction that nintendo will have a 3ds successor soon (a year or 2) that is basically a switch but portable/tabletop only..... But that could be too bold even for me lmao |
The dedicated market in general has been on the decline lately. I think it's absurd to expect 3DS + Wii U sales from Switch at this stage. If it gets it, great, but I wouldn't count on it.
There have been precious few consoles in recent years selling mid-range like you're describing. They're either huge (DS/PS2); enough to be a success (Wii/360/PS3/PSP) or a disaster (Wii U/Vita/GC/Xbox). PS4 and 3DS seem to be heading to 70-80m+ which I'd lump with the Wii/360 group.
I'm not sure how I'd classify a console that sold 40-50m. XB1 might finish around that and possibly Switch too. It's what SNES sold, and that was a success, but it was also 27 years ago and the market has changed substantially since then.
