Good analysis, the fact that they are able to coast with solid sales (not great, not poor) for 3 quarters on the strength of last year's evergreens and a handful of 1-2 million sellers while still at full price with barely any bundles makes me believe there is still alot of potential for growth.

Of course there's a lot of potential for growth left. Switch can't reasonably address the handheld market at large yet; not with this price, size and battery life. Once it gets closer there, it will already have a rich library of cheap games to choose from. It's important to consider that the vast majority of 3DS games launched at $40 (USA) or €40-45 (EU), but pricing on Switch has been a lot more flexible with many $/€30 titles already. And of course the eShop on Switch is leaps and bounds better than on the 3DS in terms of games that are offered. The biggest thing to work on in regards to the Switch eShop are sorting and filtering options; right now Nintendo tries a different approach by sending offers via the news feed which isn't so bad because it's more visible than having to enter the eShop and hope to come across something.

Anyway, Switch is a solid system with a lot of areas where improvements can be made, so it will sell for a long time. Currently I don't expect Sony to launch a response, so Nintendo should be able to focus on the thing they have instead of cutting it short.

Ya if we get $199 handheld-only and console-only skus next year i think sales will explode.
