@Curl I know what you're saying and I agree I'm just pointing out the above conversation was in relation to Japan only and it makes sense since this is a Japan thread. Not saying WW can't be brought in but it makes sense if conversations generally revolve around just Japan. |
I get that. Just saying, if Switch doesn't sell as much in Japan as 3DS lifetime, that doesn't mean it's not a success. As Portis says, it's about profits, and Nintendo are making way more money off Switch selling $60 software for a $300 system than they were selling $40 software for a $170 system with 3DS.
Ultimately, I think whether Switch can topple 3DS lifetime in Japan depends on how long Nintendo support it. The 3DS has been dragged out for a crazy long time by keeping it around as a dirt cheap entry level system, if Nintendo does the same for Switch in 2023 and beyond, the sky's the limit.
