I think Switch will sell (very) well but like someone posted, new games won't increase that much hardware sells if directed toward the same population. Like The last of Us II, FFVII and (even if not exclusive) Cyberpunk won't make Ps4 sell 20 millions in 2020. |
PS4 and XB1 are nearly at the end of their console cycle with the announcement of the next-gen successors while Nintendo Switch isn't even entering the third year on the market.
Yearly triple-A blockbusters like COD, FIFA, Madden, and NBA are the main force that drove the sales of those two consoles. Of course, it will reach a saturation point where it couldn't move more hardware than before. There were already 6-7 installments of those franchises on the system that makes the growth of the new potential buyer decline.
COD IW, COD BLOPS3, COD BLOPS4, COD WW2, COD AW, and COD MW.
FIFA 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20.
We cannot use the argument of the initial purchasers are the one who's going to buy the next game for the switch game yet, it could be the new entry point for a lot of users and etc because the system hasn't yet reached the maturity point. The market trajectory indicates there is a lot of potential rooms for Nintendo Switch in upcoming years in terms of hardware and software sales.
