| Ljink96 said: Yup, agreed. Switch will hit 100M, but if and only if Nintendo doesn't introduce another "handheld" during the Switch's run like some rumors have been saying. It has a wide market appeal, you don't have to buy 2 consoles to get the most out of Nintendo's current gen IP, and the software is decent and plentiful. And as long as Switch sells, 3rd parties will continue to support it. Hell, Bethesda would put Skyrim on a calculator if it was selling well enough. Because the principle is, there's money to be made. If 3DS can hit 70+ Million, I think Switch can at least get there and beyond. Considering Nintendo hasn't begun to pull out its biggest guns yet, I think it's safe to say that when it's all said and done, Switch can hit 100M, but I'd say no more than 110M. |
I think it is really unlikely that they release a new handheld. If so, it will be a Switch pack without a dock but it would be a terrible decision. Maybe they had one ready in case the Switch doesn't work out (so it's not a flop alone on the market) but now that Switch has a chance of being one of their best selling console ever, I don't see why they would.
It would not only be a terrible decision because of the Market share but also because Nintendo can't fully support 2 consoles at the same time anymore. They weren't able on Wii u/3DS, they won't do better with an HD handheld (assuming it would be) and a Switch. Also, seeing how every game is coming to Switch including previous handheld exclusives, I really doubt they will release a new one.
