That means that Switch will have to sell over 20m in 2019 to pass XB1. 20m+ Switches sold in 2019 will only happen imo if 3 things happen, 1. Pokemon gen 8 makes 2019 and isn't lazy. 2. Animal Crossing makes 2019. 3. The rumored new Switch Lite and Switch Pro models release, with the Switch Lite costing $250. While it is possible that all 3 things will happen, I am somewhat doubtful that they will. So, my money is on Switch passing XB1 in Q1 2020. |
They don't need all that to reach 20+ millions.
Just have multiple system seller/big games over the year instead of 2 at the same time at the end of the year. Fire Emblem, Luigi's mansion, Animal Crossing and the potential of Metroid/Bayonetta 3/Pokemon/SMTV/Yokai Watch 4 is well enough. Switch might get a price cut this year also, don't think it needs a revision this year or atleast just for the holidays maybe. But i think they should keep it for 2020 once the next gen is announced.
