I have no idea how to respond to this, it's literally just a bunch of nonsense that in no way supports what you are saying. |
"How does the data show that it's not a primary console? That's a fact pulled right out of nowhere.
By the time PS5/XB4 release, Switch could potentially be in the $150-200 price range with a couple revisions and dozens of highly rated exclusives, $400-500 powerful consoles will not be direct competition, they will coexist just like Switch currently does with PS4/XBO."
If only 30% of US Switch buyers don't have a pS4/XB1 console; if sales for those systems are still the same or better, taking consideration that Nintendo sold, what, 15million in the first year, it's only natural to conclude that people don't see Switch as a priority and therefore, aren't stopping to buy a PS4/XB1 to get a Switch instead.
I doubt you'll see a console priced at 500$ anytime soon.
Even if Switch is at 200$ with dozens of exclusives (assuming they are all meaningful exclusives) why should that stop Switch from being hurt by new consoles, when at 300$, new concept and a bunch of system sellers weren't enough to have more people opt for a Switch instead of another system?
Consumers already showed that 400$ for a console is not a problem. They'll gladly pay it again if PS5 is a strong proposition as PS4 was.
What i'm saying over and over is this: despite all the efforts with Switch, Nintendo couldn't make people choose a Switch instead of a PS4 or XB1 and that's why neither consoles sales went down despite the massive sales of Switch.
Is that a good sign? No it's not. There should have been a bigger impact.
