| AlfredoTurkey said: What's strange to me is how the Switch is hanging around Wii's heels sale-wise even though Wii was a pop culture phenomenon. The only reason I can think of to explain this is that the gaming industry has gotten much larger than it was in 2006. |
The Wii brought in a lot of new people to console gaming, and that is why its sales exploded. Switch is selling mostly to handheld gamers right now. Nintendo always sells a lot of consoles to handheld gamers. That is where these customers came from. Switch also got a decent sales boost by having really good software its first year (especially Zelda).
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6
