| StarDoor said: "That said, the Nintendo Switch has its challenges when it comes to reaching that goal. A recent study found that while half the population of the UK knows what the Nintendo Switch is, only 32 percent of those who heard of it intended to buy one. If that’s the case worldwide, the Nintendo Switch may face a long, uphill battle in its attempt to overtake the Wii." Wait... what?! The population of the UK is 64.1 million. 64.1 * 0.5 * 0.32 = 10.26 million The Wii only sold 8.65 million in the UK! With those projected numbers, how is this an uphill battle? |
Additionally, if you use the same figure for worldwide (I used Japan, USA, Canada, France, Germany, UK and Italy) then you're looking at close to 120 million sales. In reality, rates of interest will be different for each country but this article does not make a good argument for the Switch facing an uphill battle against the Wii.
