| Miyamotoo said: 1) I said around and at least 6 (around 2m, and at least 3m), it doesn't really matter if its 9.7m or 10m exactly, that still around 10m this year. Like, I wrote, we already seeing increase shipments of Switch, and how times goes shipments will be only bigger because increased manufacturer. 2) No, Wii U is terrible for comparison because we talking about failed console and worst selling Nintendo console ever. Wii U was sold out only in first two weeks during holiday season, that doesn't mean nothing, shortly after that Wii U was actually overshiped and that's why in Europe for instance Wii U later had negative shipment. |
1) Look up: Switch will easily hit 10m at end of this year
2) To date, the WiiU has sold 3X units as the Switch, so it's still possible that the Switch could sell 9.2M more units and stop. Is that likely? No, not at all. When it launched it sold out and had a period where demand outstripped supply. The comparison, however, relates to a console that has met the demand and cannot increase sales through new releases (WiiU/X1). We don't know when the Switch will get there and we have to wait for it not to be perpetually sold out, so a baseline can be established. Once established, "system sellers" will be very easily identified.
