As someone already pointed out, the Wii was selling very well and Nintendo just happened to announce WiiU and not release any more big games for Wii. Wii sales then fell sharply. It all depends on Nintendo. If they start releasing Switch 2 in 2022 and their games won't support cross-platform, then Switch might not get to 100 million sold. Wii sold only 5m in all of 2012, which was the year WiiU came out (November 2012 to be exact). IMO it probably will reach 100m but not more than 120m. |
I'm hoping Nintendo advances on its platform and releases a Switch 2, rather than replacing it with a dead-end "new Switch" or some unrelated new platform.
Just because Apple and Samsung already do this thing with their own devices doesn't mean it automatically isn't something Nintendo should do. In fact, this model is something people have wanted in the video game industry since the Master System and Mega Drive.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
