| Kristof81 said: It could be, but for a limited period of time. The question is how many compromises are customers willing to deal with to justify this platform over the other? Even if new SKU is twice as powerful (in that case it might just reach 8th gen home console level, in terms of raw power), and even if all major 3rd party devs jump on Switch bandwagon, this will only last for 2, maybe 3 years as the 9th gen is right behind the corner. |
If you think support for this console will last only 2 or 3 years due to new systems releasing in 2020, you're in for a surprise. This will neither stop Nintendo releasing new games on it, nor it from keep selling well. By the point the new machines launch ($400~$500), Switch will most likely be around $200, half the price, so it won't be really competing with them. I also expect exclusive third parties to keep releasing on it, especially Japanese ones, as it has no competition there. Btw, Nintendo commented on how they want this cycle to last longer...
OT: I'm starting to agree with this logic. If all goes down well enough, it will end up being the best Nintendo console first party-wise.
Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
