| kowenicki said: I haven't been paying attention much lately, but is someone seriously suggesting (demanding) that the Switch has to sell the sum of the previous home console and handheld to be considered a success? That's a logic failure of epic proportions. Last gen someone who bought a WiiU and a 3DS to cover all bases will this gen just need to buy a Switch surely. So to be simplistic about it then it needs to sell roughly half of the combined sales of the WiiU and 3DS to be a success doesn't it? Some very odd people on this forum (still). |
Half of combined sales seems fine to me. >40m
But even so, we could assume all or most 3DS owners owned a Wii U. Therefore they only need 1 Switch= 1 Wii U+ 1 3DS. If we take away Wii U sales from the 3DS then we can account for all double owners and even extra. >51m
I think to be considered a success the Switch needs to sell in that range ie: ~40m-55m or more of course.
