Yes, major upset. The only positive takeaway from this disappointing 2018 is that it makes it easier for 2019 to show solid year over year growth. |
It's only disappointing in the context of extremely high expectations. This is the second highest US year of the generation, and it was a narrow margin at that. And Switch just had the highest December and the highest December+November period of the gen. December was actually the biggest since I believe 2010. The Switch had no price cuts at any time and only one 299 bundle available for a limited period. If Nintendo can maintain performancd in this range consistently, the Switch will have a very strong lifetime sales total. If it can go substantially above this, that would be very impressive. But consistency would be preferable to a spike followed by steady ongoing decline.
