Barkley said: The highest Q3 shipments for the Wii was 11.31m in 2009. So even if the Switch matched the Wii at it's peak... they'd still need to ship 6.8m in Q2+Q4 combined. It seems so unlikely. |
I agree. Nintendo is doing better than I thought they would, but they are still going to fall a few million short of their forecast. And that quarter the Wii shipped 11.31m was when they released the first 2D Mario game on a home console in about 20 years. Smash Bros is good, but it isn't 2D Mario good. It's not going to get Switch to sell 11m+ for Q3.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
