wow playstation got 100$ price cut  5 months after release and  went on to sell 38 million in the US. so stop using the excuse price cut means the system can't sell well. ds also got a price drop soon after launch

Wow, so you legitimately did not comprehend what Rol said at all.

He did not say anything about consoles that started off with low momentum, like PS1 and DS. Consoles can start off slowly and then accelerate and sell well anyways, despite a poor start.

He did say that consoles do not start off with high momentum and then fizzle out with low lifetime sales.

Do you understand? PS1 and DS are irrelevant to this conversation, because Switch started off with strong sales, while those consoles started off with poor sales. N64 and 3DS are illogical comparisons, because they needed early price cuts to keep selling. They had strong first years by sacrificing their later years, because that's what price cuts do: They push a console's sales curve forward.

not really 3ds could have it 170$ which was near ds price, and sold like the ds, that could have been the magic price, it's what ds launched, and kept on selling .
