So 2019 is when the 1st wave will come. I expect the wave in 2020 to be bigger from 3rd parties actually. Also, Nintendo's handheld only companies are finally starting to get their games out. A lot of them released 3DS games around the 2015-2016 so it took longer for them to catch up to their home console counterparts. We are finally starting to see the results of a Handeld+Home Console software lineup this year. 2020 will most likely be even better. That's why I think Switch is in small sales mode. I think we might start seeing it sell big sometime in 2019. Somewhere between Wii 2008 number and Wii 2009 numbers. |
Yeah, most 3rd parties did not had any or had small Switch plans before Switch launch, but after Switch proved its not Wii U and that actually will be successful and healthy platform, plenty of them start development of Switch games this year, so we should have quite a higher number of 3rd party announcements in 2019. and 2020.
