| The_Liquid_Laser said: Switch is doing well now, but it's final sales curve is going to look like the DS. The DS did pretty well in its first couple of years, but then it really took off to unprecedented levels. Expect to see that from Switch next year. The people who don't think the Switch will clear 80m are in for a huge surprise. |
I actually agree, my prediction is 70M, I think that there won't be any Switch Pro, because the Switch is already the "Wii U Pro" of the 8th gen. Nintendo is preparing a next device which will be certainly a hybrid system as powerfull as the PS4 Pro for 2022-2023. Around 2020, there won't be anymore new third party AAA game developed for the too weak hardware of the Switch, Nintendo will keep in stable health the consolde with only Nintendo AAA games until the end, and only very few 3rd party small games. So 70-75M is my expectation.
But hey, that's fine ! 18 months ago everybody was thinking that beating the Wii U would be already a good thing. My expectation at this period was 30-35M max.
