Cerebralbore101 said: I expect Switch to average around 200,000 units sold per week until 2023. The average may seem a bit high, but you gotta account for holiday sales. There's probably enough of a handheld market for Nintendo to still sell to 50 million handheld users. A non-crappy Nintendo home-only console would probably sell around 20 to 25 million lifetime. Switch grabs both these markets for a cool 75 million sold worldwide. Sure there's some crossover such as many 3DS owners also happening to own a Wii U, but having all their games on one system will allow Nintendo to attract a lot of lapsed fans, that would have passed on a 3DS2, or a Wii U2. Anyway I voted 81 million. Switch won't have a problem competing with XB2 or PS5. They won't make a portable sytem, since they're both about power. And Switch is good enough to be a secondary system for many PC/Xbox/Sony gamers. |
It's actually low if it's supposed to include holiday sales. 5 years worth of 200k weekly sales only amount to 52M, or 10.4M a year. That's just slightly above Xbox One numbers. 250-300k weekly seem more realistic at this time if you want them to include holiday sales.
