| Slownenberg said: 3DS did it because of a HUGE price cut. And I very much doubt Pokemon is coming in the next year. If pokemon does come then 14 million is easy. But I'd expect Pokemon for holiday 2018. Now granted I think the Switch will sell at least 12 million by 3/18, but I'm assuming that number is based on them getting decent third party support by this fall. To do nearly 15 million is gonna take a couple more huge first party titles this year or some real good third party support to convince people that this Nintendo console will actually have more than just remakes, ports, and first party games. |
PS4 did the same, it was costing 300usd, the only thing it had was ps3 ports, knack,killzone(both mediocre games) and a ps3 remaster for over 6 months and still managed to sell purely on hype for months before actual ps4 games were released,ps4, the switch lineup the way it is right now is way superior to what ps4 had, i bought my ps4 on hype and i literally left it in the dust for almost a year after finishing the last of us and infamous.
Switch will sell just fine with the current stream of games, it will prob reach 10m before december 31th, what they need to guarantee during E3 is that 2018 will be a healthy year to whoever is buying right now.
