| Soundwave said: That's decent for Nintendo. Switch is selling about the same as the PS4 at the same points in their life cycle. Again the key for Switch will be how Nintendo can hold up the ecosystem in the later years, the PS4 is very strong in its later years and even XBox One has gained momentum mainly owing to the Pro/X effect IMO. |
Thats what I have always wondered too. Longevity.

I think a big factor in that will be how successful they are in transitioning Switch from a one per household to a one per person device like they stated the goal is. |
I think thats going to be a tough sell. Its the unfortunate downside of having a box that plugs into a TV (home console part of the hybrid console). The second your box plugs into a TV it becomes a one per household thing.
Furthermore it needs to be priced in handheld territory to even stand that kinda chance.
Nintendo can't have it both ways. Gotta take the good with the bad.
